The possibility of waterfalls on other planets has inspired her featured work, ‘LightWave Waterfall’. This 11’ W x 7’ H ombre glass assemblage combines fire-polished glass, mirror, Swarovski crystal and glass panels in saturated pastel colors of cosmic watercolor hues. Spectacular tidal waves effortlessly cascade down a glass canvas. Also featured are works from Modell’s Dichroic glass ‘Starburst Collection’. Described by the artist, mesmerizing glass in mirrored and opalescent finishes uniquely defines “art that changes color.” As the viewer’s angle to the glass changes the color shifts. Utilizing these redefined iridescent glass characteristics, Abby Modell creates large glass canvases that mimic cosmic starbursts with their infinite reflections in the night sky.

Modell is proud to partner with a zero-waste certified sustainable glass finishing studio committed to reducing environmental impact on our planet. By recirculating applied glass into many of Modell’s pieces during their creation, the studio honors and preserves the earth and our resources.
