Title: Landmark
Medium: Painted Glass Sculpture
Dimensions: 13"h x 6"w
"Landmark" is a three-dimensional representation of a cactus. Multiple layers of paintings over transparent glass sheets give an illusion of depth and complexity. The color scheme used for the cactus is simultaneously realistic and playful, with shades of green for its body and contrasting yellow accents representing spines or thorns. A white flower tops the cactus, adding to its lifelike appearance. The entire structure is mounted on a wooden base which provides a warm, natural contrast to the cool, sleek quality of the glass layers.
