Wes Hunting
Wes Hunting developed the Glass Color Field Series in 1984. These
pieces are instantly recognizable by the intense colors and patterns
that are essentially drawn onto the surface of the glass at
temperatures of more than 1,600 degrees.
The forms have changed over the years, but they have always been
simple enough that the shape of the piece never detracts from the
increasing complexities of the surface decoration. The millefiori and
other decorative elements on my vessels may echo the contours of
the piece or establish a contradictory rhythm. In either instance, his
goal is to execute a design that always integrates the structure of the
form and the surface drawings.
