"Aquatic Forum" by Jon Kuhn, 1988
Add to SetSummary
Glass artist Jon Kuhn combines his unique artistic vision with a sophisticated use of technology. He creates the dazzling core materials of his glass columns and cubes by using an industrial rotary surface grinder, typically used for metal, to polish his dazzling glass panels. He also works with chemists to create adhesives to bond the glass and yet remain invisible to the human eye.
