The 8th Annual
White Rock Lake
Artists Tour Saturday, October 7, 2000
The front window in glass artist Diana Chase's quiet little cottage litterally dances with specular highlights from beautful globs of clear and translucent glass.
Diana lives in a lovely green, many-treed neighborhood where, if you stand on the frontmost jut of the property, you can actually see a tiny flash of White Rock Lake in the distance, through the trees.
Art just seems to happen around her house. This magnolia branch trellis ( right ) attached to the front of her carport almost looks like a soul-catcher or secret symbol.
Inside it's a smallish house with lots of cozy little crannies -- one of which dropped down several steps and was nearly filled with a pristine kiln.
Her low-ceilinged studio space ( above ) looks out onto a pleasant, calming back yard, which was sparingly accented with her wonderful pieces of transparent and translucent art during the tour.
My favortie was this luminous creature. Butterflies seem to be popular among Dallas sculptors, and we saw several on the Saturday tour, but this was my favorite.
Glad I shot it when I did. Diana sold it at the tour Sunday afternoon.
But then I've always been partial to lovely, brightly- colored translucent objects, and my home windows are full of them. Maybe someday I'll have a Diana Chase there to keep my old stuff company.
Inspired by the last line of "a wonderful poem" by
13th Century Persian poet and mystic Rumi,
this blue mandalla is "Always Widening Rings of Being"
