Winter Mountains P07709-P00446 Summer's Return I and IIStarting with clear sheet for the base glass, artist Amanda Taylor incorporates both cold and hot working techniques into this multilayered glass sculpture, but no paint or enamel: it's all multicolored layers of glass, frit and cane worked into the organic forms that make up this dimensional landscape. It rests on a "rock" made from cured cement, insuring a sturdy base for display. Signed by the artist Materials: Glass, Concrete
