Pastel Skies
1993 |
| Attracted to the purity and intrinsic seductiveness of glass, Kuhn creates precise cubes of geometry that dazzle the eye. Executed with great care, the brilliant inner core is comprised of several hundred tiny pieces, cut and polished to within one-ten thousandth of an inch prior to being laminated together, and then embedded in transparent and refractive crystal. |
