The Work's Story
Ember Lattice began as a drawing exercise: one continuous black net, drawn by hand without a ruler, dividing the panel into a few hundred cells. The color came after — warm on one side, cool on the other, so the finished glass reads like heat moving through a cold night. Because every cell is translucent, the painting refuses to sit still; it shifts with every hour of the day and throws its palette onto the wall behind it.
How It Holds Light
Side light picks out the raised lattice as physical relief; daylight through a nearby window turns the cells into stained glass and casts colored light onto the wall. After dark, a single warm spot keeps the ember core burning.
Placement
If you are deciding between rooms or wall tones, the studio can help narrow the strongest fit before purchase.
Shipping
Packing and insured delivery are handled after checkout, with collector communication before the work leaves the studio.
Provenance
Each available work includes signed documentation and a studio record tied to the title, dimensions, and finishing notes.
The raised lattice was laid onto the glass first as a single continuous line, then each cell was flooded with translucent enamel — crimson through saffron across the core, cobalt through magenta at the edges. The panel is left unbacked so light passes fully through, and it mounts on standoffs off the wall.

Dust the front surface with a dry microfiber cloth and keep the gap behind the panel clear so light can pass. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners.
