About the Item
'Ulu Oti' is a contemporary cast glass sculpture by David Ruth from the Chill Project Series. This sculpture is made from soda glass that was then mixed with cobalt and copper to create the light blue color. The piece is initially derived from a tree root that was covered in mud. It was cleaned and then recovered in mud to create more texture to the artists liking. The final product is a natural, but abstract form. Ink was added to heighten the contrasting textures against colored glass. This creates a multifaceted 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.

P.190501 by Toshio Iezumi - Contemporary glass sculpture, green, abstract
By Toshio Iezumi
Located in Paris, FR
P.190501 is a glass sculpture by Japanese contemporary artist Toshio Iezumi, dimensions are 100 × 15 × 7 cm (39.4 × 5.9 × 2.8 in).
The sculpture is signed and numbered, it is part of a limited edition of 5 editions and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Beginning in 1996, the artist experimented with a new format for his work in the "Projection" series, which resulted in mural sculptures. The artwork's heat reflective glass reflected the surroundings, but in a distorted and very different way than what a viewer might expect to see in a mirror.This position encouraged frontal viewing and played with the idea of a mirror.
