Working deep again on three 250 x 190 x 21 mm panels. The finished slab is shown above and two of the pieces in the kiln before firing are below. There are 8 layers of Spectrum glass in each piece and are dammed with ceramic fibre board and the kiln posts are there to restrict movement as the glass softens.
The plan is to have the three slabs framed as a triptych almost like an altarpiece. The nudes are based on some drawings by Auguste Rodin and Bella Pieroni but much simplified. The drawing is made with Glassline paint on the uppermost glass and therefore there are fewer air bubbles. Hopefully it will make a strong impression when framed and with the light from in front creating depth and a silhouette.
