Debra May
Both Andrea Dasha Reich and Debra May work with the illusions inherent in glass. Reich begins with wood and builds layers upon layers of pure pigment with circles, spirals, slashes, drizzles, drops and washes of color followed by resin, until the finished product is an explosion of color and reflection, creating the illusion of glass.

Debra May’s intricately carved work requires a skilled artist with precise control. Her work is difficult and time-consuming to produce: one vessel might take as much as 40 hours to create. The result? Stunning vessels with designs deeply etched into glass the colors of a brilliant sky at dusk. May’s work evokes images of the deep canyons of the Southwest or tongues of fire leaping up the side of a bowl. The reflections are equally dramatic and often create the illusion of a separate piece of work.
