Coloured Shadows

Inspired by Claude Monet's water lilies and the kimono designs of Itchiku Kubota, Barbara created a still life of shapes, shadows and colours. Tack-fusing cut sections of glass canes of varying patterns, colours and thickness, then encasing them in clear glass, she hand-blows the resulting sheet to create an irregular interplay of patterns spreading over the surface like blobs of oil on water.
