Eagle Orca Round Recycled Glass Platter by artist Corrine Hunt.
Where Air Meets Water: The Eagle and the Orca, the concept for this panel is based upon the physical depiction of air meeting water, a drop of water that creates a swirl as the air affects its surface. The whorl shape created by this abstract notion has produced the form of an Eagle on the upper left side of the panel and an Orca, its body elusively curving around the right side of the panel. Corrine has continued to play with the whirlpool concept by introducing echoing shapes and forms that reflect across the panel's surface and invite the viewer to explore the "waters" surface.
