Description
Primary Description:
Colorless glass; blown, cased, fumed, hot-worked, polished; lost-wax-cast bronze. Blown vessel, cased, fumed between gathers, and manipulated with cork paddles into a flattened square, stele-shaped form with a thick rim and solid base. The two flattened walls of the glass vessel meet and touch in the interior. After cooling, the glass was polished with diamond paper. The bronze form echoes the glass form, and in fact the wax model for the bronze was made from the glass form. The glass form sits in front and slighty to the side of the bronze form. The artist describes the technique as "blown and compressed glass with cast bronze shadow." The artist's signature appears on the glass form.
