These large geometric masses of color span entire walls. On their own, they look sculptural and 3-dimensional but mount flat on the wall and sometimes even onto the floor. Underlying layers of color show through skins of multiple glazes.

They seem to defy gravity as they appear to exist in a boundless space. Many pieces in this group were created for a site-specific
installation spanning walls up to 37 feet long. See the Defying Gravity portfolio for images of the site-specific installation at Cassina's New York City SOHO location.
