Lapis & Pearl
Beak Form Series, Cane Series
Size: 14.5″ x 8″ x 2.5″
artist:  Patrick Kerry Brown

Lapis blue and pearl white cane were rolled up to form this wonderful sculptural vessel.

These beak forms by Patrick are reminiscent of a curved bird’s beak.  It is a delight to watch the color application which is different for each one and to see the beak being pulled and curved.

Cane is a color application where a thin rod of glass is made from various rods of glass of different colors to form a design.  Cane ranges from simple to complex.  A simple cane is basically a cylinder of colored glass coated with clear glass.  There is also cased cane where the clear is coated with a color.  Then with complex cane there are multiple designs, really only limited by the creator’s skill and imagination.
