(ART H 492) I used trash glass ends of "pulled points" which are a byproduct of bubble blowing to make traditional vessels and goblets, held them over a large flame, and let them melt into a pile limited on the bottom by the table and on the top by the flame. This piece maps the heat of the torch and its location and angle that day. Lots of smooth molten glass accumulated on the top near the flame compared to the sparse broken ends and unstable filaments and drips supporting the mass from the bottom. Lots of pieces broke off, it spilt itself in half even though I annealed it, but at least each of the pieces can still sit in their original top-heavy orientation.
