Inspired by the coral reefs and oceanic environments, this art glass vase is formed using layers of clear and colored glasses: first, the murrini tiles are made, along with the spiraling cane. The cane and murrini are preheated to over 1000 degrees before being applied to the blue background of the main body of the piece.
Once they are applied and melted in, more layers of clear glass are used to encase the colors. After all the layers are on, artist Scott Garrelts shapes the piece using wooden and metal tools that are more or less unchanged in form since they were first used by Roman artists, connecting this artist and his work to an ancient historical tradition.
