Abstract
The sculpture is created by accreting successive layers of a vitreous material under close temperature control on a core to form a solid unified mass and of depositing pellicular images on one or more of said layers; said images, which may be photographically generated, being variously sinuous, discrete, diaphanous, colored and spaced apart from each other in both radial and axial directions of the solid mass which constitutes the sculpture and which is characterized by said images apparently floating freely within the mass composing a general design, scene, display or decoration.
