Description
13.75"h x 7.5"w x 5.5"d
cast vesicular glass, lampworked glass
This freestanding sculpture defies expectations: Seafoam Reef is made entirely of glass. Lampworked creatures adorn a shardlike form made of Sinkus' signature vesicular glass, a light weight, foamy substance unlike any other iteration of the medium. Its form in this pieces references the foam of waves crashing above just as much as the minute skeletal structure of the reefs below.
What is vesicular glass?
Vesicular glass is lava, recreated in the studio. Millions of microbubbles (created through science, not magic, though the line does blur) expand the glass into a lava rock substance much like pumice.
