"Ocean Reef Paperweight Sphere"

Art Glass Paperweight

Created by Michael Egan
Michael's paperweights evoke a tapestry of living organisms from an ocean reef, maybe from another time and place. He works to abstract the colors and rhythms of aquatic life. The imagery is very up close with minute details being magnified by a clear glass encasement. The technique used is called murrini. These paperweights are full of unique things and places. They can be cleaned using a warm damp cloth. They should be left in sunlight to be truly appreciated.

About this Artist

Michael Egan

"I employ cane material in my vessels as a painter uses brush strokes, each piece of cane acting as a gesture of color."

Each piece of glass Michael Egan creates is made of solid glass cane material that he designs and produces in his studio. Combining different styles of cane yields a variety of woven or tapestry surfaces and introduces secondary colors and detailed patterns within the walls of the blown glass pieces. The results are at once controlled and serendipitous, distinguished by a painterly, watercolor sensibility.

Recently, Egan began slumping and fusing cane to explore abstract two-dimensional designs and lighting elements. This natural evolution of his creative process has led him to invent new forms of surface design while still working with hot glass.

This was for a special friend...
This was for a special friend who loves glass works. This one may be the most beautiful of them all. Both of us are very happy with the detail and quality. I'm sure I will purchase another one from the same page.

Beautiful, life-like...
This was the perfect anniversary gift for my son and daughter-in-law. They live at the beach, so this gift will be a wonderful accessory in their home.
