Ancient Rings – A Collection of 90 Kiln-Formed Glass Vessels brings together ninety works that unfold as a single, evolving conversation. Through images of Ancient Rings 1–90, glass artist Jim Scheller invites the reader to witness how a form can remain constant while its inner life quietly shifts.

Seen in sequence, the vessels suggest accumulation, memory, and duration. Patterns repeat, stretch, and drift, as if responding to forces both internal and unseen. Each piece feels complete on its own, yet gains resonance when viewed alongside the others, revealing subtle transitions that only emerge over time.

More than a catalog, this book reads as a visual meditation—an invitation to slow down, look closely, and sense how meaning can arise without explanation, carried forward through form, rhythm, and persistence.
