Lines of Inquiry: Cobalt Lattice

From Bowles’s Lines of Inquiry series of stoppered bottles, Cobalt Lattice investigates the relationship between intricate glass cane work, optical depth, and sculptural form.

Fine blue canes form a complex lattice of overlapping lines within a richly saturated cobalt interior. Encased in clear glass, the network creates shifting perceptions of movement, density, and transparency.

The elongated stopper provides a restrained geometric counterpoint to the intricacy of the internal structure, reflecting Bowles’s technical mastery and ongoing exploration of glass as a sculptural medium.
