Sonja Blomdahl has devoted her career to experimenting with abstract layers of color through the vehicle of the vessel. Although her vases have classical proportions, their forms do not recall any specific historical shapes. Blomdahl always works in incalmo, an Italian glass working technique in which two or three bubbles of the same size are joined during the blowing process. In this example, violet and peach colors are joined together.
