The bursts of light that appear when one’s eyes are closed tightly are known as "phosphenes." For Joan A. Parcher, this optical phenomenon recalls her childhood home, where discarded lenses from a nearby glass factory were scattered across the landscape. Parcher, an experienced enamelist, was inspired to invent Reflective Glass—a type of vitreous enamel on copper—to give permanence to this experience. The pebble-like texture of her enamel easily catches the light, enhancing the reflectivity of the material. The hexagon shape is constructed from individual triangles that are connected by a flexible grid, which allows for movement and generates additional sparkle.
