Cool Glass

The Pyramid, Marian Karel

I thought I would share some photos I took at the Corning Museum of Glass back in July. MUch of the museum consists of historical artifacts from various eras and places around the globe, and includes both functional and decorative items. But when I was there, they had a special exhibit of contemporary glass sculpture from the Heineman Collection, which was my favorite part of the visit. The four items pictured were among those that made the biggest impression, and I only wish the photos conveyed how cool they looked in person, in 3-D.
