Awakening
Awakening, re-awakened. Taking a higher than usual risk, I re-sculpted the original version of this finished cast glass piece. Now that it’s completed and I’ve relaxed…I’m pleased with the outcome.

Despite the years, my enormous effort and, at times agony, I ask “Where did you come from?” I recognize my newest glass sculpture would not exist without me. Yet, I know fully, it is detached from me. It is its own entity. Come meet Transcendence.
Climbing right turns. Tumbling loops. Outside banking descents. It’s a Pollitt Small Treasure called E-Ride. It’s a roller coaster path in kiln cast, fuchsia-colored glass.

Pollitt Small Treasures is joined by Green Piece, an undulating, sweeping 1′-2″ high x 4″ diameter glass sculpture. Complexity of the design is simplified by a seldom-used Pollitt medium polish finish. Its kiln cast color is emerald green.
Dichroic glass is expected to change color in different light. Captiva, a new sculpture by Harry Pollitt, even surprised the artist with its dramatic color change. Come see his Surprising Small Treasure.
What’s Math Got To Do With It? was inspired by Pinnacle. It started out simple enough, a top-down approach. Do that spire on top. Then get the flow just right.

Lots of descriptors fit my newest cast glass sculpture…cantilevered, precarious, a challenge, jade green. What it cannot call itself is “meant to be.” But six re-builds later, I call it pretty cool. Engineering disguised as aesthetics. And not easy to capture, so I’ll post a few extra photos shortly. Let me know what you think.
In the emerging stages, my first cast glass wall sculpture was a whole new process for me. In wood, a wall sculpture is a familiar and enjoyable form. Yet, at first, it felt “weird” in wax. I had to become acclimated all over again to designing without the wood grain. There seemed now to be no point of beginning.

Classic Moves: Complex curves, planes, lines all complementing and in opposition to each other. All are elements of architecture & engineering. And, so, the structure is the design and the art is the structure.
