Depth Vortex

Can you find the eighth fish?  Seven fish swirl from the watery depths. Note the center unit and its' center. If you can not find it look at the detail photo. 
This glass fused artwork contains 5 separate units mounted at 5 varying levels from 3/4" to 3 1/4".  It was created in multiple layers using Bullseye fusing sheet glass, powders, chips and fired in a kiln to keep its highly textural surface. The final mounting can be altered to vary its' final to a lineal design.

Many hours are needed to analyze each design.  Since multiple layers are added every layer’s color is affected by the previous one after firing.  Every layer has its own pattern.  These pieces are individually cut out of fusing sheet glass which is scored, broken, and ground to fit.  Powdered glass and glass chips, called frits are added in varying sizes and thicknesses to create effects of shading and shadow.  Once it is fully assembled it is fired in a glass kiln.  Varying the program a few minutes or degrees can alter the surface texture and flatten the finished appearance.  I wish to create a highly textural fusing with depth and movement.
