Untitled from the Tierra Del Fugo Series
Toots Zynsky

Sculptor, glass artist, and painter Therman Statom is known for his life-size glass ladders, chairs, tables, box-like paintings, and small-scale houses (such as this piece). Statom’s works are assemblages built from industrial window glass panes–that he sandblasts and paints with vibrant colors–as well as found components. Attributing his interest in being an artist to the painter Kenneth Noland, Statom was drawn to the spontaneity of glassblowing and the expansive possibilities it provided for experimentation.
