N8 Miers: Exploring the Universe through Heady Glass Art
N8’s main inspiration comes from outer space, but he also finds inspiration on earth. Sometimes even the weirdest things like a pile of logs can inspire an entirely new series of murrine for N8. Murrine, for those who are unfamiliar, is an advanced glass technique that involves layering together rods of different colored glass to create intricate designs, which are then sliced into multiple cross-sections to reveal the pattern within. By utilizing techniques such as murrine and fume, N8 creates mesmerizing spacescapes featuring galaxies, moons, and even the occasional UFO.
