Swirls of Light

This is another piece from my collection of American Art glass. It is a hand-blown, transparent perfume bottle, painted with swirling black lines. I placed a multi-colored silk scarf behind it and photographed it in the light streaming through a stained-glass window in my home. Glass remains one of my favorite photographic subjects becaus it has the paradoxical quality of solidity and transparency. It both captures and filters light. Photography is the art of writng with light. Glass is the magical color of light.
