Landscape Sphere
"Landscape Spheres" are orbs containing a planetary core that Josh created specifically to be encased within clear glass on which artist Wendy Besett painted a unique landscape scene. Of this collaboration in the early and mid-2000s, Besett writes, "My collaboration with Josh was as much an excuse for old friends to get together and play as it was to produce art. As an artist experimenting with colorants in glass, I liked the idea of balancing the earthiness of my Vermont-inspired landscapes with the cosmic feeling of Josh’s Planets. Our spheres felt magically both ethereal and grounded.”
2.75” diameter, signed “Simpson & Besett.” (Item #0.1.06)
