Description
Primary Description:
Sculpture, "Soma". Colorless and green glasses; kiln-cast, cut, ground, polished; steel base. Abstract, geometric sculpture consisting of a two-part vertical rectangular structure with a green glass section on top, comprising about 1/3 of the sculpture’s height, and a colorless glass section below, comprising about 2/3 of the sculpture’s height. The center middle portion of each section is significantly thicker than the glass on either side of it, creating a columnar axis. Within this column, the top (green) section is pierced by a circle, and the bottom (colorless) section is pierced by a long oval, which allows light to penetrate into and through the sculpture. The sculpture stands on a thin oxidized rectangular steel base.
