To create “Chromatic Vortex,” I employed mesh casting to generate random yet controlled forms within the glass medium. Starting with a base layer of clear glass, I carefully placed small pieces of colored glass onto a mesh above it. As gravity pulled these pieces through the mesh’s openings during the casting process, they formed unique shapes and patterns upon landing on the base layer. After completing this stage, I moved on to glass fusing—a meticulous technique where multiple layers of colored glasses are melted together in a kiln at high temperatures. This process allowed me to achieve not only structural integrity but also that desired glossy finish which makes each color pop vividly against its neighbors.
