Held in Light is a small sculptural basket centered around a piece of dichroic glass that shifts between luminous yellow, green, and blue as it catches the light. Natural longleaf pine needles provide a warm, organic foundation, while vivid bright autumn yellow waxed linen thread radiates outward from the center in a pattern that echoes the changing energy of the glass.
Yellow glass beads punctuate the outer edge, adding small points of light to the design. The contrast between the natural pine needles and the brilliant, reflective center gives Held in Light a sense of movement and discovery. The piece changes as the light around it changes.
Held in Light is for someone who is drawn to colour, light, and natural materials, and who enjoys artwork that reveals new details over time. It would be especially meaningful for someone who appreciates the unexpected beauty of shifting light or wants a small, distinctive work of art to brighten a personal space.
