Glass needs a background

A transparent object is also a portrait of what stands behind it.

Original illustrative material study discussed in this Oblique Edition journal article.

Give transparency a partner

Glass changes with every background. A pale wall reveals its colour; a darker plane reveals the edge. Neither view is the complete object. Choose a background for the information it makes visible.

Leave room for the shadow

The shadow often explains a transparent form more clearly than its front surface. In the Veil study, soft folds create overlapping tones and a pool of denser colour. The empty space around the vessel is part of the composition.

A catalogue benefits from a wide image and a closer material view. Use both to explain, not merely to repeat. The imagery here is original demo art; a working studio should replace it with accurate photographs of its own pieces.
