This piece is inspired by Vermont’s legendary fall foliage. In some areas of the state, the reds are particularly vibrant and shiny – seeing this in person is pure magic. I wanted to show a view of the mountains disappearing in all directions into the distant cloudy sky. In my landscape, the sky is covered in semi dark clouds but there is still enough light to illuminate the the brilliant carpet of trees covering the mountains below. In my mosaic, the green conifers and half the red trees are created with iridescent glass which shimmers and glows in the light.
