Robert Santacroce
Woven Glass Sculpture

Glass artist Robert Santacroce draws his inspiration from the natural world around him. Using light, color and movement he creates wonderfully textural pieces that reflect the occurrences of unfolding time and space. He hand tints each element to add rich color layers to the finished weave, which deepen as it takes on its final form.

I have always been a tad bit jealous of a glass blower's ability to witness the unfolding of their work in one continuous process. My destiny and inspiration have led me to a self-discovery of the techniques required for weaving glass. A technique whose potential is still largely undiscovered. This process requires constructing all the pieces to be woven, hand tinting them with custom colors, very delicate assembly and then multiple firings during which I have to wait days to see if the final result was successful to my eyes. Most days I am exhilarated by the results, other days I wish I was a glass blower.
