Twist – Mosaic Glass Sculpture with Red Spiral by Suzanne Vaughan

Twist by Suzanne Vaughan is a captivating glass mosaic sculpture that rises in a spiraling form. The surface is fully enrobed in deep brown glass tiles, interrupted only by a single, flowing spiral of rich red that coils from base to top. This bold ribbon of color enhances the sculpture’s sense of motion and contrast, drawing the eye along its elegant vertical path. The piece commands attention from every angle, with geometric precision and dynamic presence.
 
Twists: The upward reaching Twists reflect the resilience and flexibility of wood in the entwining strands. They symbolize the connections and bonds generated from the forming of friendships and merging of cultures. Fiddle Head Fern (Koru): The majestic unfurling fern frond represents growth emerging from new beginnings. As it curls outwards with new life it stands strong, proud and at peace.  Each sculpture is encrusted in rhythmic patterns of hand-cut colored glass, mirror or gems that are selected to emphasize the character and form of the underlying structure. The tiles are smoothed and arranged into flowing lines adding vibrancy and intensity to the twists and curves. Collectively they entice the eye as the light shimmers and dances across the multi-faceted surfaces, generating a sense of energy and movement.
