"Solid Vase Form #19" by Sidney R. Hutter, 1994
Add to SetSummary
Sidney Hutter creates nonfunctional vessels through cold working (grinding and polishing) slabs of industrial plate glass. He uses an adhesive for each layer of glass that is cured by ultraviolet light. Through a process he developed, color is added to the adhesive which pigments his vessels. Hutter's inventive use of commercial technology has resulted in a new perspective on vessel forms.
