Notes
This work is an example of David Reade's more expressive pieces, highlighting his use of internal trailing as a means of drawing within the glass. The faceted form, with gently angled planes, interrupts the fluid surface and refracts the light. The interplay between the angled structure and the organic interior creates a dynamic tension between control and spontaneity.
