The “Dual Architect” recycler by Mitch Petersen stands as a testament to the complexity and beauty of modern glassblowing. Its structure is a vivid dance of form and color, featuring a dichotomy of gold and silver fume that cascades through the piece, contrasted with delicate ‘deja blue’ stringers. The artist employs a fume grid technique, capturing the ethereal quality of light as it refracts through the metallic fume, creating a spectrum of subtle rainbow waves. The dual chambers offer functionality beyond mere aesthetics, contributing to a unique movement of air and smoke. The transparent and reflective qualities are balanced by the opaque fume, offering a visual representation of the fluidity and dynamism inherent in both the medium and the craftsmanship.
