Artwork Description

While anticipating the birth of his daughter, Anthony Corradetti looked at illustrations of zygotes, embryos, and various cellular forms. Seeing a relationship between these and his drawings, they became the basis for his paintings on blown glass. The images are not literal, but convey the artist’s feelings and impressions. Each piece in the Pod Series showcases the capacity of glass to capture and play with light, and inspire the next piece in the series, allowing Corradetti’s ideas to flow and develop along with the molten glass.
