Abstract Form Study in Gold IV

Abstract Form Study in Gold IV belongs to George William Bell’s ongoing investigation of glass at the intersection of sculpture, craft, and design. His process-led practice allows the behavior of molten glass to participate in determining form, retaining a record of the material’s transition from a fluid state to a solid object. Sand carving and silver mirroring bring the treatment of the surface into dialogue with this exploration of form.
