Summary of comments when this piece was exhibited. The leaf and tree-like void shapes, combined with the natural colors, lend a high degree of realism to the piece. The hessian background further enhances this effect. Initially, the separation caused by the void shapes and colors seemed too pronounced, but upon reflection, it accurately mirrors the appearance of the rainforest. The more I look at it, the more I feel like I am immersed in the rainforest. There's something uniquely captivating about this piece. It might be the opposing directions of the voids or the way my eyes are drawn into it. Perhaps it's the shadiness reminiscent of certain parts of the rainforest. Regardless, this artwork stands out in its ability to transport the viewer into another world. . I think this one though as the colours remind me of the Caribbean what with the oranges and the pinks. Oh definitely the Caribbean. It’s just the typical Caribbean scene what with the huts shape and the colours. The huts are exactly. You’ve captured them perfectly. I feel happy. They all do actually. All very nice. I think it gives softness really as the textiles give feeling of warmth.
Trapunto Art Glass uses the secretly guarded processes used by the Mesopotamians (1650BC.) to make glass vessels which contained expensive perfumes for the courts of the rich and powerful, and also for use in religious ceremonies. It is said to have mystical qualities and when combined with the Trapunto textile manipulation technique used in Medieval Times (1450AD.) an art form like no other is produced - ones which cannot be copied, or mass produced. Exhibition comments show that Trapunto Art Glass results in a very special personal experience often referred to as spiritual, tranquil or nostalgic thus relaxing the viewer and stimulating the imagination.
