Each Spiritile is made from copper, glass and wood. They can hang on a wall or stand alone, and will never fade or tarnish. Release: Summer 2014 Collection Measures: 8.5" x 5.25" x 1.75" Weight: 2.5 lbs Handmade in USA ABOUT Houston’s kind heart, wit and warmth emanate from his masterful Spiritile Collection. Through fortuitous circumstances, Houston met the master enamelist Zingaro, shadowing the artist around his studio until he gave Houston the keys to enameling that would later evolve into Spiritiles. Houston’s work in enameling is based on his belief that meaningful art is about emotion. These icons stretch our memory and bring to mind the things we cherish. Vitreous enamel, the art of glass heat-fused to metal, is as ancient as Mesopotamia, with infamous historical artworks in royal jewelry and imperial treasures. It is an illustrious but little-known medium that Houston cast in a new form. With its metallic base as canvas and its myriad glass colors as “paint”, what makes this work unique is the story wrapped around the sides of each piece. Some Spiritiles quote authors and poets, other philosophers and fellow artists, but every piece is designed to speak to our life and reach our emotive self.
