Geochemical Formation Sculpture – Sally Resnik Rockriver

In the work Geochemical Scape – ‘Zinc silicate glaze temperature is maintained at 2000 Fahrenheit for several hours to induce crystal formations.’

Sally Resnik Rockriver generates chemical reactions in blown glass
nurturing geological laws to produce Geochemical Sculptures

‘These formations are an outgrowth of an experimental framework that accentuates the heating and cooling tendencies of particular chemicals. The works capture the high temperature moment at which they were created, echoing the birth of planets and the Frozen life inside them.’

I particularly enjoy the Crystal Glaze set at her personal website
