Vase

Object Details

Luce Center Label
Tommie Rush manipulated thick, heavy glass to create this gentle form. She eliminated all harsh lines and angles in favor of smooth curves and matte texture. Dark, earthy hues flicker around the base and highlight the frosted white plant form that twists around the vessel.
