About the Item

Please allow a two month turnaround time for this piece to be made. About Cast Paper In David's words: “One thread running through my work is a connection to nature. Casting natural forms in glass has given me a way to be in dialogue with nature — so rewarding I have spent five decades refining its use in my sculpture. Glass, with its transparency and malleability, is all about light. Glass is also an entirely artificial material, with little parallel in nature. Recently, exploring new applications of the geologic molds, I have been experimenting with making castings with paper pulp. These have proven to be a vital way to extend the artistic reach of the textures we captured for the Colorado Cascade and Geologic Editions. In contrast to working with glass, I enjoy the soft messiness of casting with fibrous paper pulp.” This cast paper sculpture comes framed. About David Ruth David Ruth is an Oakland, California based glass sculptor that has been making large-scale cast glass sculptures and architectural features for over 30 years. Often featuring bright colors and contrasting polished surfaces with rough textures, the work has been featured in architecture, museums, and in galleries around the world. He holds degrees in History from University of California at Santa Cruz and glass from California College of the Arts. Over the years he has taught various workshops and classes in glass techniques and is considered an innovator in glass casting.
