Keith Garubba: Auto Amulet for Return Trips

This glasswork features a representation of a design from the 1960 Chrysler New Yorker on a city street backdrop. It has been designed and rendered through a highly specialized process of hand-silkscreening glass enamels onto clear glass for fusing. 17 color layers have been printed using a specially-mixed ink of glass enamels which have been applied to both the front and the back side of the glass. The glass has been fired 6 times in the process of building up the design and accommodating specialty enamel colors. The result is a layered image with dimensional depth in which the bright red sings off a dark backdrop, like a tail light in the night. This is a limited edition artwork, signed and numbered in an edition of 10, and comes in a steel tabletop stand or steel wall mount.
