Focus on this artwork and discuss the Design and fabrication.
The resolved work of art takes the form of a conical structure formed entirely of glass, and was designed and fabricated by Clarke, over a period of three years. The composition consists of 204 individual panels of mouth-blown glass laminated to a skin of protective float that forms the exterior glazing, supported by 16 fins of laminated, toughened glass, with steel ring beams and tension cables the only non-glass elements.
