"Desert Dreamscape Mini" Size: 1.25" Price: SOLD

This was the pinnacle of the work of Zach and Chelsea to date when it was released in 2010, the best murrina they have created, and one that can be lumped into the best several which the world has ever seen from all murrina artists combined. It is simply spectacular, based on an original image by Chelsea, and is an instant classic which every serious collection will want to own.

This is Chelsea’s first murrina of 2010, her first original complex composition in murrine. A photo collage translated into glass featuring a young boy with a paper airplane in a desert landscape. A prickly pear cactus blooms yellow in the foreground, while a star-dotted aurora borealis swirls in the background, and a nebula flows in the desert canyon, which the child is crossing in his larger than life imagination. Utilizing a rich and vast color palette to bring this dream to life, Chelsea draws upon her knowledge of color relationships in both painting and glass to achieve brilliance. This image marks a new direction in Chelsea’s murrine work, taking everything she has learned over the last few years in the medium and putting that into her own compositions suited just for marbles and murrine.

The murrine itself has a 'Bent' signature chip discreetly embedded in the image, and then the back of the marble has the traditional 'Bent Jorgenson 2011' signature cane.
