This “Sconce Pair” is a gorgeous set of glasswork by Mary Sherwood. The term comes from the old French term meaning “a lantern or hiding place,” a medieval tool considered to hide in plain sight. The sconces were hung parallel like a beacon of light, illuminating the darkness and offering hope to a hopeless place. 

Using rich teals, crimson, yellows, and iridescent jewels – these works are rejuvenating to the eyes and soul. They offer a play of light that is endlessly beautiful.

Overall, this artwork captures a striking balance between bold color, intricate texture, and organic movement, making it a visually captivating piece that could be interpreted as a desert landscape, ocean waves, or an abstract expression of energy and flow.
