About the Item
'Baquba' is a contemporary abstract glass by artist David Ruth. Created in 2008, it was a piece in a series about the David's views on the American invasion of Iraq.
"In 2005, a few years after the American invasion of Iraq, I conceptualized a series of pieces based on blood and oil, black and red, to honor the horror and rapaciousness, the greed and stupidity of the enterprise. They all are superimposed with a goopy calligraphy, half Arabic and half oil, that I made by trailing out molten glass. Several of pieces use a particularly bright red from a factory in Portland. The blocks are polished then put back in the kiln to fuse on the glass calligraphy."
