From the relaxed torso,
\nHer slender neck stretched straight out,
\nIt is slightly open at the corners of the mouth.<\/p>\n
The skin of the torso was cloudy white like frosted glass.
\nSeveral blue, thread-like lines run diagonally across it.
\nRather than drawing,
\nIt has the appearance of having left a trail of flight.<\/p>\n
In stark contrast to its body, its neck was a translucent sky blue.
\nWhen held up to the light, only that part reveals the other side.<\/p>\n
Bertil Vallien (born 1938)
\nHe is a leading glass artist from Sweden.
\nI studied in Stockholm.
\nAfter spending several years in the United States and Mexico,
\nI joined the \u00c5fors glass workshop in 1963.<\/p>\n
Using the "sand casting" method, in which molten glass is poured into a sand mold,
\nHe left behind many sculptures in the shape of boats.
\nInside the thick glass,
\nA collection of works in which small human figures and tools are trapped.
\nIt's visible, yet out of reach.
\nThat distance is at the heart of his work.<\/p>\n
