Bubbles and Layers of Color
Held in the hand, each of the two glass motifs reveals its own form, with bubbles and layers of color held within. The faceted shapes follow no fixed mold. Each is found by searching for the place where the glass's texture shows at its best, then cutting and polishing it there. No two pieces ever take the same form.
The Silhouette of Urajiro
As light passes softly through the glass, the CAIRN pendant shows a different expression with every angle.
Worn, its silhouette recalls urajiro, an auspicious fern and the origin of the name Gleichenia. Like leaves opening freely to either side, the silhouette quietly expands as light passes through it. A form that responds gently to the light of each day.
