Hand-blown glass "Soft Bowl" 2005 
Artist:  Courtney Branam
Donated by:  Zoe Kuschel and Michele Hitchings, Frost Bank, Houston

Hand blown glass bowl in the cane/murrine technique.  Artist Courtney Branam from Seattle, Washington, is influenced by historical glass pieces, particularly 19th and early 20th century Italian glass.  His goal is to find a balance of color, form, pattern and proportion.  While striving for technical perfection, he embraces the "soft" qualities of the material, sometimes considered" flaws" or "imperfections", that can only be achieved through traditional, off-hand techniques.  Courtney believes that these characteristics are what make these handmade objects so special.
