Phil Vickery Glass

Light Blue Helix

70 cm x 20 cm x 20 cm

Mould blown glass, cut and polished.

This is a design evolution of the idea that the technique represents nature, life, energy, and movement. These pieces are a representation of the energy that DNA gives all living things within nature. The intrinsic beauty of all living things all comes from the same basic design block and this is an amazing thing. So these sculptures pay homage to this extraordinary fact that almost borders on the sublime, but that results in the beautiful.
This piece has been hand blown into a cylinder with an internal twist like the other pieces and then cut on a diamond saw down the length to reveal the twist. It was then ground and polished to a high finish and UV bonded to an aluminum base. Doing so elevates it to an honored likeness, showing respect to DNA and nature.
