A mixed media sculpture forms a vertical, four-rung ladder leaning slightly right. Its thick, trough-like rails are encrusted with a dense assemblage of glass fragments, shards, and small tubes. Vibrant pink, yellow, and blue hues coat internal surfaces, visible through jagged protrusions of orange, green, and transparent glass. This multifaceted application creates a tactile, irregular texture that disrupts the linear form, while light catches the varied angles of the shards.
