About the Item

Please allow a three month turnaround time for piece to be made. The Geologic Screens Series The Geologic Screens are studies from the Colorado Cascade Mural. David pieced together bits of the original rock and ice castings to try various combinations. Texture composites were molded and cast in colors that were part of the series of developing glasses for casting natural textures based on the original ice molding at Palmer Station, Antarctica. The guiding principle is to see the layers of texture that in turn, show the time qualities of the environment: universe, geologic and quotidian time—so present when you view these pieces, especially in natural sunlight that alters from moment to moment, and changes with the seasons. This series of screens is David’s breakthrough in architectural cast glass. Here he created functional art. This allows the individual to feature vibrant sculpture within their home, while also creating a stunning architectural element. These screens are held in place by a durable steel frame that is powder coated black. The screens have the ability to stand on their own or be bolted for more security. Modifications to the frame are possible at request.
