Primary Description:
Sculpture, "Untitled ("The peacock likes to sit on gates or fenceposts and allow his tail to hang down. A peacock on a fencepost is a superb sight. Six or seven peacocks on a gate is beyond description, but it is not very good for the gate. Our fenceposts tend to lean and all our gates open diagonally.")". Solid cast lime-green glass with as-cast surfaces, oculus top. Lime-green glass, cast. Large and solid cylindrical cast glass sculpture, cast in one block. Molten glass is released into the mold over a 24-hour period and then the glass is annealed for three to four months. Mold marks and other flaws on the sides of the sculpture have been left as is and not removed, so that the sculpture appears in a "natural" state. The glass at the top of the open mold remains smooth and transparent, as the glass has had no contact with anything other than air and heat. The sculpture weighs 1,750 pounds.
