Organik Fuzion Glass & Copper Sculptures
GlassSmithed Together
Organik Fuzion hand blown-glass and painted sculptures coupled with poured and wrought copper create patinas of life. The Kharma series of incense holders debuts for the Gili DragonFyre Eco-Trust Fundraiser.
Paul
Falworth, a 46 year old northern California native,
has lived and traveled overseas in over 70 countries. His
contemporary style reflects the energy of his travels and adventures - from
backpacking in the mountains of Tibet to hang gliding
along the California coast.
Organik
Fuzion sculptures, created with plenty of positive energy at BAGI, The Crucible and the Jungles studios, hope that their surreal and iridescent dichromatic
glass and copper patinas reach out and capture your imagination.
Copper sculptures include 6-winged dragonflies (from 1 to 3 feet long) inset with flat glass patterns on the plasma-cut copper wings - an excellent example of glasssmithing. |

Organik Fuzion sculptures echo the wonders and facets
of our constant journey through life. |
"Glass
has so much energy. I just love color that dances with the imagination."

Each glass sculpture typically starts with a color overlay, then frit is added with multiple
color wraps, dichromatic pieces, stringers and up to six gathers
or more of clear glass to separate the color layers. The sculpture was pulled and torched to into a three feet long piece.
Every piece, cooled over two days with a custom annealing gradient, deny the colors and dichromatics
chunks from cracking the sculptures. The necks were cut off for later use. Paul's pieces require a team minimum of three and sometimes
four during the fabrication process.
Seven painted layers of color over seven days are added to the inside of Kharma - baked and seared together for added textures. The short neck is sheared off with a diamond circular glass saw and hand polished with a soft burr. The base is inscribed and dated.
Pure white Carmel Beach sand has been added inside for balance and to hold the incense sticks which I collect during my overseas travels. More details.
