Here are six pieces from my show at the Kansas City Art Institute in May 2009. These are kiln fired glass panels with inclusions. There were 14 pieces in the show.
"mass ascension 3, Albuquerque, New Mexico, 2009"
- “after the fire, Los Alamos National Forest, New Mexico, 2009″
The size of these glass panels are 14″ x 10″ x .25″.
"prairie grasses, Kansas, 2009"
I use Bullseye glass for the panels. Besides the glass pieces, I insert non-glass materials called inclusions. These materials are fired into the glass. The inclusions are ceramic pigments , thinfire fiber paper, underglaze ceramic pencil, and copper wire. The piece above has all these elements in it.
"trees, English Landing, Parkville, Missouri, 2009"
I began with a digital photographic image. This is converted into a ceramic pigment print. The print is then transferred to a sheet of glass and fired, to fuse it to the glass.
"view from the convento, Pecos National Historical Park, New Mexico,2009"
Smaller glass pieces of sheet glass and frit (crushed glass) are added prior to the full fuse firing.
"cylinder in field, Larned, Kansas, 2009"
That is totally amazing art! I love how inovative you were with the medium and the effect it gives to the illusion behind.
Hey Jeff did you learn any of this stuff from Mr. Roths class? I didn’t think so Good work my man!!!!
These images are fantastic. I would love to see them in real life! Congratulations, Jeff!
