Roni Horn began to create cast-glass sculpture in the mid-1990s. To create these sculptures, colored molten glass it is annealed—or cooled—gradually in molds over a period of months. The sides of the sculpture retain the roughness of the containers in which they are cast, while the top is smooth and shiny, like a crystalline pool or Arctic ice. When viewed from above, the interior of the sculpture approximates the appearance of water.
