Artwork Description

Steven Weinberg has cut a landscape into the base of this cube, presenting a maze of pathways that refract and distort when viewed through the polished sides. To create the single bubble, Weinberg drilled a hole through the block of glass and applied heat and pressure, causing the air to contract into a bubble. The delicate wave appears when two layers of clear crystal are joined together, veiling the scene with blurred texture.
