Elements 38: Strontium, Mary Rieser Heintjes

Medium: 18 " x 24" photograph of Elements 38 Strontium

“Creating the welded art fused with glass was mind expanding about the possibility of what can be created. without the metalworking course this art could not have been made.”

Small welded metal sculpture combining curved, twisted steel forms with brightly colored glass drips in red, blue, yellow, and green. The metal pieces arch, coil, and intersect, creating an industrial, almost calligraphic structure. Translucent glass accents cling to the steel like molten threads. The piece rests on a neutral tabletop against a plain beige wall, highlighting its rough textures and vivid color contrasts.
