"Solid Vase Form #15" by Sidney R. Hutter, 1994

Summary

Sidney Hutter creates nonfunctional vessels through cold working (grinding and polishing) slabs of industrial plate glass. The slabs are held together by an adhesive cured by ultraviolet light. Hutter adds color to the adhesive between each layer of glass to create his prismatic artwork. Not everything he creates is fine art, however. Hutter also has a commercial line of home décor.
