Cold glass artist Jack Storms takes this universally approachable form, the cube, to the next level. The core of the sculpture consists of the finest optical lead crystal that has been cut and polished to precision. Once the core is complete, it is surrounded with an optical crystal that camouflages, giving the appearance of a floating core. The beveled cube features twenty four bevels and six lenses that have been added to the piece to magnify the beauty of each original core created by the artist, bringing a more “organic” feel to the piece and making it a sculpture like nothing you’ve ever seen before. The beveled cube refracts, reflects and casts colored shadows. Each one of Jack Storms cold glass sculptures starts at the core, the artist cuts, grinds, polishes and laminates together the glass literally hundreds of times until he can get the core design he is looking for. Jack is known for using the theory of Fibonacci as reference for all of his glass designs. He then encases the core into optical crystal and hand sculpts each piece to shape. Each one of his glass sculptures takes from six to twenty four weeks to create and all of his pieces are original pieces of fine art. All of Jack Storms glass sculptures are done cold. There is no heat involved in the process whatsoever. The materials used on each one of Jack Storms’ glass sculptures are 32% optical lead crystal, optical crystal and dichroic glass.
