About the Item
"Cloud Study: Bird' is a contemporary abstract glass sculpture by David Ruth from his Cloud Study Series. It contains hues of white painterly brushstroke formations in glass called trails. Trails are created through rolling molten glass into various forms and shapes. They are then placed within clear glass and fused into one large piece through kiln casting. After, they are polished on both sides. This technique creates a layered, suspended, and vibrant three-dimensional space within. The drawing at the center is by Barbara Downs. This was part of a study that was eventually made into an installation at the Oregon Health and Science University. The idea is that whiteness is a wish for a transition to health. The rising clouds represent our earth and our earthly existence. They suggest the aspirations of humankind and specifically, the desire of patients for their wellness. The drawings are a way to bring the conception from abstract into concrete place.
About the Cloud Series in David's Words:
"A small corner of my interest in painting with molten glass and a part of my continuing interest in earth phenomena, I have made several forays into mimicking clouds embedded in glass, starting with a piece I made for my Paris show at Galerie DM Sarver. A commission at Oregon Health and Sciences University in Portland, Oregon in 2007 inspired a series of studies of how white color dissipated in the glass body. The resulting pieces were used as models for the major pubic work that is installed at Kohler Pavilion at OHSU."
