Fused glass with on framed tin ceiling tile

This is a fused glass panel which I made prior to my last 2 surgeries (7/9 surgeries). II used over 30 colors of Bullseye brand fusible glass and added dichroic glass. The dichroic will change color in response to varying angles of view. The glass is set on a tin ceiling tile and framed. I like the marriage of old (ceiling tile) with new (glass).

The glass fractured when I first fired it, a lovely metaphor. I had to add additional glass and refire it and it is different than my original vision, forever changed, yet enhanced. Just like one's life with chronic pain.

I rarely do art, as I have to have very good pain control and control in major facets of life, in order to be creative. Doing art always leaves me more symptomatic for a significant period of time, will do more!
