Item Special Note
Scott Goss’ Glass Panel Series focuses on the landscapes of industrial cities that lie throughout America. By looking up towards the tops of the buildings in cities like Chicago, Cleveland and Philadelphia, the view is often disrupted by the conflux of power lines, streetlights and old bridges. Scott’s piece captures the industrial landscape, which is often overlooked by the men and women who live and work in these neighborhoods.
This series was created by processes that involve engraving and reverse glass painting. Once the image is placed onto the glass, it is then fused to a thin piece of hand-wrinkled copper that has vitreous copper enamel sifter on it. When fired, the finished piece reveals the incompatibilities of the glass, copper and enamel. This result can be seen by the crazing and crackling effect on the inside surface of the glass. Evidence of the copper can often be seen in the skies and on the low bumps on the outside surface of the glass—a result of the glass slumping over the wrinkled copper.
Scott Goss is a 2006 graduate of Glass from The Cleveland Institute of Art. Currently he is a studio artist in midtown Cleveland, Ohio. His innovative Glass Panel Series focuses on the deteriorating urban core of America's aging industrial cities. This series involves glass painting, engraving, fusing, and slumping; all to a piece of copper. When fired, the pieces reveal an unseen beauty in the skies and landscapes not originally apparent in these decayed neighborhoods.
