In this project, I am slowly building a palate of tone and color by filling hand blown glass bottles with a wide assortment of materials. I hope to build a complete record of the material detritus from my studio practice and my everyday life. Thus far this collection has begged to be organized into a tonal fade from light to dark, or is it dark into light?
