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.
