Danny Perkins

Danny Perkins was a painter and photographer before an interest in industrial work led him to glass. He works with both hot and cold glass and spends most of his time painting the surface. An expert colorist, he manipulates the saturation and translucency of the pigments until his vessels radiate light. Perkins reassembles broken glass into layers of soft folds and curves; the edges are jagged but the overall form is smooth and graceful.
