Curved and raised fused glass surfaces formed with imagery overlay and interact with painting and imagery on a base panel to create a sense of depth. Close-up detail photos show wire, tacks, painting, montage, image-transfer, antique skeleton keys and fused glass pieces with kiln-formed bubbles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArtwork imagery includes 1800's and early 1900's show posters, dancers, circus performers, western towns, horse and buggy, stamps, handwriting, postmark cancellations, correspondence, books, buildings and sewing. Despite the antique and vintage imagery, the artist brings a contemporary flair to her one-of-a-kind artworks. Young emphasizes the intangible aspects of the work that she describes as a \"...metaphor for the multi-dimensional nature of individual life experience\". Conceptual themes include time passage, the juxtaposing of old with new, life stories, and the representation of psychological and internal experiences through layers of markings and fragmented images.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis creative artist monograph with the artist's own touches is inspiration for artists and collectors alike.
