"Lumina Green With Red Ring" by Tom Patti, 1993

Summary

The beauty of art and the innovation of technology are combined in Tom Patti's work. He approaches glass with a voracious curiosity to discover what the material can do. His career in art began when he discovered how to create small glass sculptures of layered industrial glass with a bubble inside. Sculptures such as this one explore color and spatial perception.
