About the Work

Lunar Moth combines traditional stained glass techniques with custom kiln-fused elements, bringing together different glassworking processes in a single composition.

Handmade fused glass bezels introduce additional detail and dimension, while the textured clear glass background adds visual interest without competing with the moth itself. The textured surface catches and refracts light, creating subtle variations in the piece's appearance throughout the day.

Phosphorescent elements allow portions of the moth to absorb light and glow in the dark, revealing an entirely different appearance after the lights go out. This transformation adds another dimension to the work, allowing it to be experienced in both daylight and darkness.

By combining these elements with the traditional copper foil method, Lunar Moth explores the interplay of texture, light, and craftsmanship, highlighting how different glassmaking techniques can complement one another.
