Sonic Bookends - Handmade Contemporary Glass Bookends - Customizable
About the Item
The Sonic Bookends design was created with the intent of recreating the image of audio waves emerging from the books they are charged with keeping upright, as though to amplify the words contained on the pages. Inspired by the environmental installations of James Turrell which combine minimal shapes and light to create serene spatial environments. The bookends feature hand cut and polished faces and edges. Multiple bubbles of color are “stuffed” to create layered tones with the successive gathers of glass lending a thick optic quality to the colors.
