Jamie Harris approaches his sculptural work from a painterly perspective as opposed to a traditional glassblower’s perspective.  His work is comprised of loud splashes of color, and the innate way glass transmits, reflects, and absorbs color.  In his Infusion Block sculptures and wall panels, Harris used incalmo, the Italian techniques of layering and banding multiple colored bubbles of glass, as a way to generate washes of sensuous, painterly color in a kiln-cast solid mass. These reinterpretations of incalmo freeze in time the flowing movement of molten glass, capturing the subtle gradation from a whisper of transparent color to a saturated intensity.
