Blown glass at a grand scale is a challenging undertaking best achieved by scores of maestri. De Santillana, during her second residency at the world renowned Museum of Glass’s hot shop in Tacoma, Washington, managed to capture the folded glass form that has become characteristic of her practice at an impressive and imposing size. Powdered pigments and crystal project brilliant yellow—which is a notoriously inflexible color light through the towering screen.
