New Mexico Glass Saturn
Josh started making Saturn sculptures 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, around a black hole singularity. Among the most difficult works Josh creates, they exemplify his mastery of both blown work (the disks) and hot glass sculpture (the Planets).
This unique New Mexico Saturn is 16.5β diameter with a small Corona Glass core Planet. It is signed Simpson and serialized 9.7..21
