Cynthia Miller’s intricate glass works explore the colors, seasons, and shifting effects of light in the natural world, from foliage to celestial nebula. To create her luminous panels, Miller first designs the overall composition and then fires each single panel and scours solid copper panels until they gleam. As the glass melts to 1,200-1,500 degrees, she sifts pulverized glass onto the copper. Vibrant and subtle hues are revealed, and enamel jewels are added while the panel cools. About ten layers of color and multiple firings achieve the desired effect in each panel. “I have always been fascinated with brilliant, jewel-like color. Vitreous enamel glass—kiln fused onto copper panels—captures and celebrates light and color like no other medium I know. I delight in exploring the scintillating array of hues and luminosity: each shift in light reveals another variation.”
