余烬
Ember
2008
艺术家Keith Cummings的创作灵感来自他的家乡英格兰，以及那里美丽的乡村风景。Cummings习惯于使用玻璃这种特殊的材质，其独一无二的塑形特质，使他家乡的美丽景色从油画和水粉画中得到衍生，从而让作品反映出他所想要传递的那些关于家乡的天气和景色等信息。Cummings同时还使用的其他材料，例如铜，和玻璃相互辉映，形成强烈的对比，构筑成最终的作品《余烬》。
Artist Keith Cummings’s inspiration came from his hometown in England and its beautiful countryside landscapes. Cummings is an accomplished glass artist and accustomed to its unique properties so that this scenery of his hometown seems to be out of an oil painting, reflecting even the weather. Cummings also uses other materials, such as copper, to form a strong contrast in the final piece.
