Aqua Silica

A collection of Roman glass vials and jars, their surfaces slowly wearing down as if washed by the ocean. This light aqua colour was the earliest colour of Roman glass, it is the natural colour of the silica in the sand most commonly used at the time. Depending on time, place and maker the colour would vary. Oil and gesso on board in antique frame. Work at Ffin Y Parc Gallery.
