Celebrated glass artist William Morris has created an original and fully realized world in this engaging body of work that fuses hot glass and regional landscape. Included are 38 glass vessels inspired by the flora and fauna of three Pacific Northwest microclimates: the Steens Mountain region and the Sisters area, both in Oregon, and the Cascade Mountains north of Seattle.
