William Morris Artifact Still Life 4 Piece Sculpture William Morris (USA), Artifact Still Life, circa 1990. 9.25 x 16 x 9 inches. A hot sculpted sculpture featuring 4 unique objects that form the set. From a private collection. William Morris, renowned for his extraordinary glass sculptures, created works that often resemble ancient artifacts, bones, and organic forms. Fascinated by archaeology, mythology, and the way objects can carry meaning across time, Morris used glass to evoke a sense of mystery and primal connection to nature and human history. By using innovative glassblowing and surface treatments, he made glass look aged, weathered, and almost fossilized, challenging traditional ideas of what glass can be. His interest in nature and primal imagery led him to create pieces that look like relics of early human civilizations, totems, bones, and animal-inspired forms that feel sacred and timeless. Morris was also deeply influenced by the idea of storytelling through objects. His glass sculptures invite viewers to imagine their origins, who might have used them, and what cultures they belonged to. Instead of simply making beautiful objects, he sought to create artifacts that feel as though they have survived from another time, carrying a sense of mystery and lost history. His mastery of glassblowing, combined with experimental techniques like sandblasting, acid etching, and glass pigmentation, allowed him to create these extraordinary effects. Though he retired from glassmaking in 2007, his work remains some of the most unique and influential in contemporary glass art. Estimate: $5,500 - $7,500 |
