- "Structure 25" by Howard Ben Tre, 1985 - Howard Ben Tré took a unique path in the studio glass world when he exchanged traditional glassblowing techniques to cast monumental sculptures of solid glass. The rough glass surface of this piece has patinated sheet copper attached giving it a weathered look. Ben Tré states, "I hope that people without any history of looking at art, can be drawn in, and have a connection to it."

- "Standing Columns #12" by Howard Ben Tre, 1983 - Howard Ben Tré casts glass sculptures using similar techniques he learned while casting metal sculpture. These solid, monumental works often have a green tinge and appear to glow as light passes through. Architectural elements and archeological remains inspire Ben Tré. Works like this one, which weighs well over 500 pounds, will take over two months to cool after molten glass is poured into a mold.
