Filet de verre (fused and heat-formed glass threads), 2004
Gift of Carolyn K. and Richard F. Barry III
Toots Zynsky’s masterful bowls of fused glass threads carry an emotional charge. The striations and brittle endings of her filets de verre invite touch, but her multi-layered color range seduces as a rich, optical experience. Esile (Italian: slim, slender) is a vessel of ethereal delicacy.
