About the Item

'Reao' is a contemporary cast glass sculpture by David Ruth from the Chill Project Series. This sculpture made from of soda glass then mixed with cobalt to create the blue color. The piece is initially derived from wood found on the forest floor then with added textures to create a natural, but abstract form. The contrasting textures and color with create a multidimensional piece that changes throughout the day in natural light. About the Chill Project Series: The Chill Project a series of works in cast glass translating textures of ice and rock into a vision of cold, inspired by a warming planet. The resulting sculpture shows layered time from the quotidian rotation of the earth to deep geologic layering and formation of our planet. David's interest in natural forms was uniquely inspired by my Antarctic Artists and Writers Program grant in 2006, where he began to use geologic textures to explore environmental light within his sculptures. Two pieces of personal evolution happened in the process. One was that he discovered how different glass and ice are in just about every way, in optics, workability, color and feel. The later revelation was how much the geology in cast glass combined with sunlight showed layers of time: the daily and yearly rotation of the earth and in the making of the glass. This ongoing effort can examine the swirl of forces that shape our lives as seen through geology and light.
