Houston Llew Spiritiles: Tandem

“Where you are, that’s where I want to be, and through your eyes, that’s all I want to see.” —Carlos Santana

Every Spiritile has its own story that inspires, uplifts, and brings a hopeful connection to life. Handcrafted in Atlanta, each is made with finely ground colored glass that is handpainted, fused to copper in a kiln at 1500 degrees, and then wrapped around a wooden frame (see more here). Spiritiles can be hung on the wall or displayed freestanding, and withstand direct sun, humidity, and even outdoor conditions. Care and hanging information here.

Artist Statement About This Piece: Swaying to the beat of the music, staring into each other’s eyes, feeling the closeness and warmth as the evening draws in, these moments dancing as one must be cherished and remembered. Appreciating the one we love, desiring to be where they are and see as they do, this is the meaning of ‘Tandem.’ As we look into their eyes and feel the love from their soul, a special magic forms between—one that promises a breathtaking future while gifting us an unforgettable present moment. Let us dance with the one we love a little more, and let the worries of the world fade away.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
