Untitled, stained glass mosaic and broken glass goblet, 9.5" x 12", 2012 ~SOLD |
This project revolved around incorporating the broken glass from the Jewish wedding ritual of breaking the glass into a mosaic that would be a work of art in itself. The central element
of the piece had to be the broken glass from the wedding day. I thought of this as a symbol of the beginning of married
life for the young couple. From the broken stem, a
new life unravels the way that a Koru fern (spiral in shape) unravels slowly and
symbolizes new life, growth, strength, and peace. I think all these symbols are
good wishes for the young couple. The wedding goblet was specifically green because it is the bride's favorite - that is one reason that the mosaic is dictated by the color green. In addition green stands for: healthy relationships, life,
fertility, balance, growth, learning and harmony which all apply to a
happy marriage.
