Ascension was painted with glass enamel on 16 layers of glass. When the layers were complete, they were stacked in a kiln and fired to nearly 1500F, causing the layers to gently melt together into a single solid glass block that is 2″ thick.

The resulting block was then cut into two angled slices, cold-worked, and then assembled into a final sculpture.

Ascension can be positioned in many different orientations.  I suggest that you change the display orientation regularly to keep it fresh!
