Charlotte Miller Woven Bead Wire Vessel Sculpture Taos NM

This vessel form is created using Miller’s signature technique: a wire warp on a loom with Japanese glass beads individually woven in one at a time on the weft — a process requiring hundreds of hours and approximately 350,000 beads per basket. The result is a shimmering, textile-like surface of extraordinary richness: horizontal bands of metallic copper, amber gold, burgundy/magenta, teal, and dark brown create a plaid-like grid across the vessel’s surface, every bead catching and reflecting light differently. The form is a tall, slightly tapered cylinder with an organic wavy rim — echoing the organic sensibility of her kiln-formed glass panels. 14″x9″x9″ Please see pictures for condition details as the photos are considered a part of the description.
