Polychrome glass, blown, tooled, applied, flame-worked, assembled, 2015
Gift of Carolyn K. and Richard F. Barry III
Known as an artist with a brilliant command of color and attention to detail, Laura Donefer has been using glass as a primary artistic medium for more than 27 years. Donefer often incorporates mixed media and found objects into her work. A confessed lifelong hoarder, her studio provides her with material inspirations ranging from “human sheddings, urban remnants, and natural brica-brac.” While exuberant in scale, color, and textures, this amulet basket shows an uncommon focus on glass-forming techniques.
