Charlotte Kay - Kiln Fused Glass Panels
“The ground we walk on, the plants and creatures, the clouds above constantly dissolving into new formations — each gift of nature possessing its own radiant energy, bound together by cosmic harmony.” — Ruth Bernhard
As a photographer of urban landscapes, I’m elated when there are clouds giving texture to the sky. The elusive, ethereal, and elemental beauty of clouds has always enthralled me.
I see patterns of color, shapes and shadows in both natural and man-made environments, capturing the beauty created when these two environments combine.
I’m now working with kiln-formed glass— transforming these images into layered panels. Working with different types and sizes of glass (opaque, translucent and clear) lets me manipulate the light, depth and texture in each image.
