Blue Aerial - Limited Edition 1 of 5

This is the new Aerial. Jack Storms took one of his very first designs and rebuilt it from the glass up: Asfour crystal, a brand new blue, more cuts and more sparkle than any Aerial before it.

The Aerial was inspired by air and light, and the shape was meant to give a sense of lift. A lead crystal core runs up to a pointed tip that catches every reflection the rounded base and the colored core can push toward it. In this version the added cuts throw that light back out in every direction, and the new blue deepens and shifts with the room around it, so the sculpture never reads the same way twice.

Limited edition of 5. Once these five are gone, this Aerial is done. This listing is the medium Aerial, 11 in. W x 12 in. H.

Every Jack Storms sculpture starts at the core. He cuts, grinds, polishes and laminates the glass hundreds of times until the core is exactly what he set out to make, often following the Fibonacci sequence through the design. The core is then encased in optical crystal and sculpted to its final shape by hand on a cold working lathe. No heat is used at any point. Each sculpture takes six to twenty four weeks to complete and every piece is an original work of fine art.
