Art Term Tuesday: Lamination

A glass sculpture with varying shapes and sized pieces of glass stacked on top of each other. From bottom to top it is made of a silver disk, glass orb, a slanted square twice the width of the sphere, a smaller square holding up the longest piece of glass that is slanted at the opposite 45 degree angle. The very top holds two chunks of glass and a smaller sphere. The entire work feels like it's balancing itself in a way similar to a jenga tower. The front of the work shows a flat, yellow, hollowed out circle.

It's all things lamination for this week's Art Term Tuesday! Step inside a space of creativity with featured studio glass artists.

Treasures from the Vault: Neal Ambrose-Smith

A colorful image with a rodent-like creature in the center, next to the symbol of the bear totem. The "rodent" is clothed with green pants, a blue dress shirt, and red and white striped tie. Its arms are raised like it's dancing. Next to it, a small creature also appears to be dancing in black dress shoes. The small creature's head is a print of the bear totem. The background is blocks of oranges and pinks. The upper half shows a cartoon image of batman's head, and a black infinity symbol. The bottom half has the text, "Get some!" and images of birds of prey.

This month's Treasures from the Vault brings us works by Neal Ambrose-Smith! Ambrose-Smith draws from his personal life, sharing artwork through the lens of an Indigenous American. Read on to learn more about his inspiration and collaborative works!

Now on View: Beyond the Furnace, Cut and Laminated Glass

A gradient of green sheet of glass make this sculpture that stands like a miniature tower. The top of this work tapers in, slightly, and the front of the work at first appears flat, but comes forward in the middle, creating a subtle point toward the viewer. Over a dozen layers of glass are visible, with some bending the light and reflecting itself.

A variety of laminated sculptures are Now on View in the Glass Wing! Read about this sculptural process and artists who have made impactful contributions in the world of studio glass.
