Corona Smooth Portal
Like Tektite Portals, this solid glass sculpture has a polished window that offers a glimpse into an exotic world - either deep space or perhaps deep sea - within. But unlike gnarly Tektite Portals, this colorful world is held within an outer shell of smooth shiny corona glass... as if a rough Tektite Portal has been tumbling in ocean currents for eons and finally washed ashore, a gleaming pearl, the gnarly exterior worn away.

The refraction of curved glass makes Portal interiors appear different when viewed from every angle. Quite often this reveals a surprising doubling or tripling of the complex, handmade “spaceships” and other little treasures held within.
