Add a striking architectural focal point to your collection with this museum-quality, kiln-formed fused art glass sculpture by celebrated studio artists Randy and Ronda Dougherty of Ran La Roca Glass, operating out of the historic district of Lincoln, New Mexico.
This captivating piece showcases a highly stylized, organic abstract orchid or iris blossom. The artists utilize a complex chemical and thermodynamic process, suspending raw mineral elements (such as cobalt carbonate and tin oxide) into custom fluid glazes. This bespoke palette is layered directly between heavy sheets of clear fusible glass and fired in a kiln to temperatures exceeding 2,000°F. The intense thermal fusion produces deep, beautifully mottled purple petals with rich internal bubbles and light-refraction, perfectly balanced by vibrant turquoise foliage and bright canary-yellow central accents. The sculpture is housed in a sleek, custom-fabricated black steel base designed specifically to anchor the heavy glass panel.
Collector's Provenance Included:
This fine art piece is accompanied by its original, official artist biography, process statement, and 2005 NICHE Awards Finalist documentation from Ran La Roca Glass Gallery. The paperwork is hand-signed by both Ronda Dougherty and Randall Dougherty, providing rock-solid gallery provenance that will be securely packaged and included with the purchase.
A masterful blend of chemistry, metallurgy, and fine craft, this authentic piece of Southwest studio art glass presents a commanding and elegant presence on a mantel, console, or art ledge.
