Description |
Curtiss Brock (Albuquerque, New Mexico 1961; lives and works in Smithville, Tennessee) Coupling, 2005 Blown glass 22 x 17 x 6 inches Knoxville Museum of Art, 2007 purchase with funds provided by KMA Collectors Circle Brock, from Cookeville, Tennessee, has received national attention for his glass sculpture. Rather than exploiting the inherent qualities of glass-transparency and brilliant shine-the artist uses various techniques to alter the surface of his blown glass forms so that they resemble stone. Their rounded shapes appear worn as if they had been pulled from a riverbed. Coupling is from his Stone Grouping Series in which multiple glass forms are tightly clustered in a manner mean to suggest a larger unit. |
