About the Item
'Sampalan' is a contemporary abstract cast glass sculpture by David Ruth from his Internal Space series. David fused various colored glass to create a layered, suspended, and vibrant three-dimensional space within larger piece of glass.
About the Internal Space Series:
David’s experiments with sheet glass and fusing led him to try to make the glass thicker to see more interior space. It was during this time a professor pointed out that he was working with a metaphor, for which the internal space of the glass was the equivalent to the internal life of the mind. This became his operating mantra but also forced him to come to terms with the casting of thick sections.
“Creating those internal spaces came with some problems. Other than telescope mirrors, I did not know that anyone annealed glass in a kiln for more than a day or two. When pieces cracked after five days of cooling, I could not believe they would need even more time. The tragedy quotient was huge for this type of technical exploration, and that is well before any exploration of internal space as poetry.”
Each piece from this series is unique and explores a different facet of the world around us and how it pertains to the internal space within.
