Pink Salmon

This beautiful kiln formed glass wall piece just swam upstream to be part of your art glass collection. Although Pink Salmon refers to the flesh color of this Pacific Northwest fish, the artist used his artistic license and portrayed in entirety of it as pink. This is part of Dupille's 'Spotted Oval Salmon' series. The complex process starts with a glass blank and cut oval dichroic glass shapes glued down. He adds piped glass lines to start forming the content, then an initial layer of crushed glass to add color and enhance the design. Flame worked glass rods are then placed to add visual and physical texture and dimension to the work. The piece is fired in an electric kiln a couple of times, adding more crushed glass between firings. Clipped clear glass rods are carefully placed and fired for an additional texture and to add light refraction to the piece. The work has an aluminum backing material with a built in hanging mechanism. Ready to hang and enjoy!
