Do you remember Ben Young, the wonderful layered-glass sculptor from Australia whom we wrote about earlier this year? Well, he’s back with more of his unique sculptures, which capture all the multi-faceted wonder of the sea, be it tempestuous and wild or smooth and serene.
Young’s new collection will be featured at the Sculpture Objects Functional Art + Design (SOFA) Fair in Chicago next month. These pieces focus on lonesome objects framed by the sea – a lone fisherman or an isolated island flagged with a sole palm tree.
The artist doesn’t use any high-tech equipment. Instead, he hand-cuts and handcrafts all of the single glass panels himself, layering them one after the other to re-create the ocean’s subtle waves.

Could love them without those tiny common places on the top of many of them (palm tree, shed etc.) Shatters this minimalistic form.
Gorgeous! Don't you know If there is a chance to order one of them?
WOW REALLY COOL !!! I wouldn't mind one of these, I wonder if he could do a Cheasapeake bay one.. haaaa oooo
I love the lonesome light but would prefer just the sea alone without the settings and add ons.In West ray , Orkney it is just the sea .
I don't like the last on that much. Otherwise I would love having one in my room :)
