The Variations and Mutations works are a continuation of the Chaos series.  Another glassworker recently commented about making glass, “You have to achieve total control before you accept the chaos in it”.  The colors in the chalcedony glass in these pieces is a recipe with silver and other metals.  Very slight changes in the recipe make the color react differently.  The process of making the pieces, manipulating the glass, cooling, reheating, and even the annealing process all effect the colors produced.  It is the perfect example of doing the same thing over and over again but getting (and expecting) different results.

Some assembly required
