6x4 Arlyss Grosz finds inspiration for her artistic designs within the regional landscape of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. She cuts many pieces of glass to create an optical layeri ng that will catch light from many different angles. The assembled pieces are fused together with multiple firings in a kiln, with each kiln cycle lasting a minimum of 24 hours. Between kiln cycles additional glass pieces are added (often using tweezers). Diamond tools are used to develop texture and smooth the perimeter. Arlyss says the piece is finished when she has been able to maximize the distinctive characteristics of glass to capture the interplay between color, shape, light and texture. Show more
