Toots Zynsky slumps layers of fused glass threads into hollow forms that seem almost pliable, as if made from fabric. She participated in a music-recording project in Ghana, and the powerful music, vibrant colors, and diverse people she encountered there have greatly influenced her work. This is especially evident in the Chaos series, with its celebration of brilliant primary colors and energetic texture.
“The constant interaction of color and light transmitted through and around the many undulating interior and exterior surfaces gives each piece its ever changing life.” Toots Zynsky, Neues Glas, 2002
