New Mexico Singularity Saturn
Josh started making glass Saturns more than 30 years ago, inspired by space missions that studied the rings of the planet Saturn. The resulting sculptures evoke the idea of matter and energy swirling around a Planet or, more recently, a black hole singularity. Among the most difficult works Josh creates, Saturns exemplify his mastery of both blown work (the disks) and hot glass sculpture (the Planets).
In this Saturn, a colorful 3” Corona Vortex sphere is being pulled into the central singularity (the edge of a black hole) marked by a torus of delicate twisted white strands within a dark New Mexico disk.
This unique New Mexico Saturn is 17.25” diameter. It is signed Simpson and serialized 9.2.21
