Inspiration I wanted to produce a Trapunto Art Glass piece that evoked my fond memories of past visits to the rainforest on the island of Mahe in the Seychelles.
Summary of comments when this piece was exhibited. Exhibition Comments: There's something captivating about this piece that I really like. Perhaps it's the small, compact, and highly detailed nature of it, but it's hard to pinpoint exactly. The way the colored layers within the voids blend together beautifully is truly remarkable. It's difficult to describe, but the inclusions seamlessly mold into one another, creating a harmonious effect. I am genuinely pleased with the overall feel of this piece. The colors turned out to be a great success, appearing bright and natural. The yellows and lime bright greens work exceptionally well together, blending seamlessly and highlighting the casually speckled flecks of orange throughout the piece. Changing the background color from a stark, crisp ice white to a vintage cream-colour was a great decision. It complements the colors within the voids, especially the dark brown tones, very well.
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. Each piece of Trapunto Art Glass can take up to 3 months to complete and involves over 50 separate processes and is made to the highest quality standards often using precise hand dyed colour silks to create the experience. Inserted in each piece of Trapunto Art Glass is a hand stamped copper token indicating its uniqueness, providence and safeguarding investment.
