Denali Crystal and Rick Ayotte 1996 "Radiance with
Orchids" collaborative sculpture paperweight. An upright,
diamond-cut piece with a bouquet of pink carnations, pink mink
protea, two lady's-slipper orchids, and a loop of red ribbon,
over translucent pink ground. This one-of-a-kind piece is a collaborative
sculpture that fuses the work of two studios together in a rare
combination of aesthetics. Ayotte's exploration into three-dimensional
works and optical illusions within his glassworks is clearly
displayed here, balancing his triumvirate passions of nature,
science and art. The entire piece is encased in the medium of
crystal, whose very nature, Peter Temple and Desmond Hatfield
believe, "is evocative of the human spirit: invisible,
intangible, yet whose presence is undeniable." Signed.
Height 5 13/16". $2500-3000 |
