Abstract Cast Glass Sculpture, 'Maina', 2013 by David Ruth
Located in Oakland, CA
'Maina' is a contemporary abstract cast glass sculpture by David Ruth from his Internal Space series. It features 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. This technique creates a layered, suspended, and vibrant three-dimensional space within. About the Internal Space Series: David’s experiments with sheet glass and fusing led him to try to make the glass thicker to see more interior space. It was during this time a professor pointed out that he was working with a metaphor, for which the internal space of the glass was the equivalent to the internal life of the mind. This became his operating mantra but also forced him to come to terms with the casting of thick sections. “Creating those internal spaces came with some problems. Other than telescope mirrors, I did not know that anyone annealed glass in a kiln for more than a day or two. When pieces cracked after five...

Contemporary Cast Glass Sculpture, 'Norsel 2', 2011 by David Ruth
Located in Oakland, CA
'Norsel 2' is a contemporary cast glass sculpture by David Ruth from the Chill Project Series. This sculpture is made from up of soda glass mixed with cobalt to create the ice blue color. The piece is initially derived from textures taken off ice and rock in Antarctica. These textures were combined, molded, then cast in glass to create the form. The combination of the geology and glass show the close connection to time and the evolution of our planet. About "Norsel 2' in David's Words: "This block was the first piece I made upon my return from Palmer Station, Antarctica. The project was to take texture molds of the glacier ice and stone for later use in compositing sculptures in the studio. The central texture in Norsel was taken from a granitic rock...
