Item Description

Reeds.  Elaborate sculptural piece stands 24" tall x 14" wide x 5" deep. Its sinuous form and layers of gold ruby frit and fine silver foil give this piece the illusion of movement and the sense of underwater reeds coming to life. 

"My work is a juxtaposition of weighted organic form and sharp polished edges. I approach glass like a painter to a canvas or a weaver using thread to create an intricate tapestry. The coloration, vivid and original, is reminiscent of a swatch of fabric. "

Randi Solin brings a rich, painterly effect to her glass creations. The dance between the fluidity of molten glass and the rigidity of the final, cooled form is kept alive in her creations. She never tires of looking for ways to push glass to the edge. She continues to challenge preconceived notions about blown glass, dazzling collectors with her exceptional technical skill and highly inventive coloration style. 

Randi Solin combines techniques from the American studio art glass movement and classic Venetian glassblowing to create a style that is entirely her own. Using glass powder, cane, frit, and rod like a painter's palette, she builds layer upon layer of color, creating truly original, one-of-a-kind work.
