It began as a study of frosted glass. A question of how little frosting a surface needs, and where the line falls between what the eye sees and what disappears.

Working through different thicknesses of glass revealed a direction worth chasing. Frost only the perimeter edge, leave the surface transparent, and a halo appears.

A silhouette of whatever shape the glass takes, floating on its own, while the glass vanishes into itself. Only the frosted edge remains visible. Everything else disappears.

Cut as a circle and frosted at the perimeter, the form found Saturn on its own. A fitting arrival, drawn from a lasting fascination with the Jetsons and their romanticized future.

A marble sphere sits at the center, set inside the rings floating within its orbit, scaling a planet down into the living room. A bird's-eye view of a world no one will ever reach.

The glass rotates around the marble, making the object interactive. Rather than reaching across the planet, a person seated opposite spins the ring and brings the object around.
