Other information
Ammonites lie buried for millennia only to reappear in a form that is a ghostly echo of their original forms. This piece addresses this return by celebrating the colours of the seasons that they have been shut away from. I make pieces of patterned glass using a variety of glass elements. After fusing, these are then cut up into the shapes of the ammonite and fused onto a cut out glass backboard. Finally, this is grouted with a glass mixture and fired again. The back of the piece is contrasted with a monochrome ammonite image.
