Taking holiday time to experiment. Both made with Effetre glass on my MiL's GTT Lynx.

Growing up in rural Pennsylvania, I spent my days exploring the space beneath logs and rocks or reading science fiction. As a result the shapes and colors of the natural world, as well as my own wacky imagination, are the main sources for my work.
With some of my glass beetles for example, I try to capture and mimic an actual species with intricate detail on the tiny limbs and thorax. While in other pieces, I attempt to bring into being a creature from an inner reality or a dream. In some cases I merge the fantastical with the real through choice of color palette or by referencing familiar images in a mythical work.
Regardless of the end result, I find great joy in sculpting glass - witnessing the transformation of a brittle and cold substance to a molten and pliable material then back to a solid form again.
Sincerely,
Wesley Fleming

Hey Ben
Thanks for the compliments! I actually have a Phantom, but haven't been using it too much lately due to my crappy oxy situation (long story.) I've gotta say that it's been nice being back on a triple mix!
