016635 Corona Tektite Portal

$2,600.00

Artist: Josh Simpson

Item: One-of-a-kind handmade sculpture.

Location: Victor Showroom

Materials: Glass

Aspect Ratio: N/A

Shape: Freeform

Corona Glass is a substance that Josh first developed by experimenting with glass chemistry in the mid-80’s. When molten, this unpredictable material is affected by temperature, humidity and many other factors, but when everything works out well, the resulting glass contains swirls and splashes of vibrant color. Its final appearance can be like a splash of liquid fire, an eddy of melted light, or an exploding galaxy such as one might see in Hubble Telescope imagery.

Tektite glass: Years ago, a friend gave Josh a small glass meteorite known as a tektite (from the Greek tektos, meaning molten). This primeval lump, blackened and pitted from its fiery journey through Earth’s atmosphere, seemed like the opposite of “perfect” crystal being made by major glass companies. But then Josh thought:  this object-made in the heavens before humans existed- was truly the perfect crystal. Months later a geologist friend did a spectrographic analysis of that meteorite, and Josh re-created that formula in his studio. The result: a coarse lava-like substance, impossible to blow, his own synthetic Tektite glass.

Tektite Portals have a rough, meteor-like exterior of Tektite glass, enclosing a spherical inner realm made visible through a perfectly smooth window cut to reveal the entire, complex universe within, almost like gazing through an aircraft port-hole at outer space or through a marine porthole at a marvelous undersea world.

Physical Size: 7" x 8" x 5"

Price: $2600

Shipping: This item can be shipped internationally or picked up at our Victor Showroom.

Availability: This item is in stock and available in our Victor showroom.
