Colour Connections
Traver Gallery is proud to present Colour Connections by German-born artist Heike Brachlow. Known for her striking, kiln-cast glassworks, Brachlow explores how color, light, and material interact in this newest series of abstract sculptures. This new body of work exemplifies Brachlow’s innovative approach to glass and her unique ability to alter how we perceive color, form, space, and medium.
