MARK ECKSTRAND (Glass Eye Studio) Signed & Dated 1995 Sea Anemone Coral Reef Sculpture
An exceptional and highly detailed studio art glass sculpture by acclaimed Glass Eye Studio artist Mark Eckstrand, signed with artist initials and dated 1995 on the underside.
This remarkable sea-life composition captures the movement and complexity of an underwater reef environment through Eckstrand's masterful use of murrine, millefiori cane work, applied glass elements, and flowing organic forms. Lavender tentacles emerge from a richly textured black-and-white reef base, accented by dramatic black-tipped appendages and intricate embedded canes throughout.
The sculpture displays extraordinary depth, color, and visual movement from every angle. Light passing through the glass reveals layer upon layer of detail, making this a captivating display piece for collectors of contemporary studio glass.
Works of this quality from Eckstrand's highly collectible 1990s period are increasingly difficult to locate, particularly signed and dated examples featuring such extensive cane work and complex sea-life construction.
Approximate Dimensions:
