The Upright Shorebird Decoy, by Darren Petersen, is a stunning example of his glassblowing expertise. The vibrant colours and intricate textures on display attest to his mastery. The piece's surface has a crackle glass texture that Petersen achieved using a technique where he immersed the hot glass in cold water and then reheated it. This technique created a unique web of intricate lines trailing the surface of the decoy. The beak transitions from a rich earthen grey to a striking translucent red, amplifying the natural tones and vibrant contrasts found in nature.
