Auction Wednesday "A Door Through Which We Will All Pass"

Every Wednesday for the past couple of months, I've been auctioning off a piece of art on my facebook page. Here is today's piece

 "A Door Through Which We Will All Pass"

Glass

16.25"x14.25"

12 Lbs.

This is a framed wall relief piece. There is a bracket in the back of the frame for hanging.

I like the ambiguity of door imagery. Where does the door lead? What's on the other side? Am I on the inside being protected? Or blocked from freedom? Am I on the outside wishing for entry. To me they raise questions. They suggest possibilities and options. But also, as I was sadly reminded this week with the loss of a friend, they sometimes represent a finality. A door that can never be reopened. They hold a mystery, both the hopeful and the mournful.

Auction

Every Wednesday I've been auctioning off a piece on my facebook page. It's been a way for me to sell work, but also to interact with people who have interest with what I'm making. It's a great way to move older pieces out of the studio to make room for more, and have the cash to buy materials, and just get a snese if people like what i'm doing and want to help me out.

Here is this weeks offering

Inner Strength

Glass, Enamel, Steel Frame

16.5"x12"

11lbs.

You can go bid on it HERE

Illuminated Glass Relief Sculpture

For the past 4 years, the majority of my glass work has been Illuminated Wall relief pieces.
I love the way the light transmits and amplifies the textures and nuances of the glass. The backlighting has allowed me to explore my more painterly style by adding layers of paint on the front, the back ,and 3 or four layers in between.

I've added most of the piece to my facebook page HERE. please check it out and share the album with anyone you know that might be interested in owning one or a few.

I'm on Patreon

I decided to put up a page on an artists crowdfunding site.

Click HERE to see my page. I could definitely use your support.
If you care to pass it along to others, I'd appreciate that too.

If you are also an artist and want to set up your own page, please do so using my referral link by clicking HERE.


Thank you.
