Object Details
- Luce Center Label
- The curved lines and translucent colors of the Shell Series suggest the fluidity of water and the delicacy of eroded shells that Ann Morhauser collects from the beach near her home in Santa Cruz. The pieces are slumped in a mold at 1350°F, a temperature high enough to fuse precious metals and colors to the surface.
