PATE DE VERITY

ANNA BOOTHE [1981, Ceramics]

Based in Zieglerville, PA

With technical inspiration taken from a 19th C French glass casting technique known as pate de verre, Anna Boothe’s elegant glass assemblages are created in a kiln by fusing sugary particles of lead crystal. Individual elements, initially hand-carved in wax or cast directly from botanicals, once transformed into glass, are combined to create multicolored jewel-like objects that include a variety of one-of-a-kind vessels, goblets, flacons and small decorative pieces that appear to glow from within. Imbued in each object is a reference to historical artifact, a sense of preciousness and the intangibility, yet familiarity that is associated with collaged memory.
