Color of Music - Rhythm of Art

Fused Glass

When thinking of the theme of “Color of Music, Rhythm of Art”, I decided to create a fused glass piece.  I see color as a bright, happy experience or a thoughtful, moody interpretation.  I enjoy listening to music as I create my artwork.  I started with the black glass powder method of sgraffito and then added bright orange, teal, and lime green.  I portrayed a mixture of classical, folk, and upbeat 70’s classics, my favorite genres of music. This fused glass abstraction piece expresses what I feel when I listen to music. We can be transported to a different time or place, move to the beat, and just enjoy the sound. Art and Music add so much to our lives, I know I would not be able to live in a silent blank world.
