Playing in the Dune Grass

Playing in the Dune Grass

Caryn Brown

This contemporary glass and stainless steel sculpture captures the summer sky, wind-swept sand, and delicate dune grasses through a remarkable and intricate process where hundreds of glass strips are hand cut, arranged on edge, and kiln fired to form a solid sheet. The interaction between the individual pieces brings fluid movement and depth to the design, encouraging the viewer to engage with the work and look closer.

This piece is designed for indoor use and should be placed near a window or light source to maximize the interplay of light and shadow. The sculpture pivots in its base and can be rotated to best capture the light.

Dimensions: 17.5" x 23"

About the Artist


Caryn Brown

Caryn Brown

Working in kiln glass, Caryn Brown has learned to trust her creativity and what she knows about the science and physics of glass.  From concept to creation, Brown actively manipulates the fundamental materials of sheet glass, frit (ground glass) and rod/stringers.  Her work is then surrendered to the kiln where the magic of heat, often in excess of 1500 degrees, works to change the raw materials into art.


Living in the Indiana Dunes National Park (United States,) Brown has access to natural landscapes that includes miles of beach along the southern shore of Lake Michigan. From sand dunes to lake shore, marsh to areas populated with trees, there is nature all around  me.  There is the fierceness of the winter winds across the Lake Michigan and the gentle breezes of summer. This nature, in all its forms, has the ability to bring about a calm serenity within her. She strives to reference that sense of energy, beauty and calm in the pieces she creates.
