Beautiful submission from New York artist Jess Humphrey this week, who quit her job as a corporate fashion designer at age 42 to pursue her art. She recently made the leap from paper collages to hot-cast “glass collages,” which she creates at the Corning Museum of Glass. The nice thing about them is the variety of glass types and techniques you can see in each piece, from bits of colored rods to Murano-esque speckles to filigrana. There’s a lot more of these collages on her website which we encourage you to check out; she’s also working on a series of blown-glass sculptures.
