Richard La Londe creates fused and slumped glass vessels, decorated with crushed glass on clear sheet glass. The shape is achieved by heating glass in a kiln over a wavy stainless-steel mold until it takes shape. This example is a handkerchief shape, as if a colorful silk scarf became suddenly solid in the position where it fell.
