古老的压制玻璃雕塑

艺术家Amber Cowan主要用老式压制玻璃的碎片来制作复杂的容器和雕塑，并使用大量的熔融部件。当熔融玻璃被强制放入模子中以大批量生产某些形式时，压制玻璃就产生了。考恩利用这些发现的碎片，创造出了独一无二的引人注目的物品，它们反映了美国玻璃器皿制造的兴衰。

Sky Blue, Cobalt and Slag, 2014. Flameworked and Fused American Pressed Glass, Steel, mixed media. 33″x39x92014Artist Amber Cowan works primarily with fragments of vintage pressed glass to construct complex vessels and sculptures with a multitude of fused components. Pressed glass is created when molten glass is forced into a mold as a way to mass-produce certain forms. Cowan uses these found pieces to create remarkable one-of-a-kind objects that reference the rise and fall of US glassware manufacturing, while simultaneously offering a new narrative. You can see more of Cowan’s work on her website, Instagram, and at Heller Gallery. (thnx, Laura!)Goddess in the Sky, 2016.
