Gordon Huether Studio Art Matters Introduction gordon huether studio art matters introduction When I was about 17 years old, after making my second stained glass window at my father’s kitchen table, I made a life decision: I promised myself that one day I would edify the spirit of humanity by bringing beauty and meaning into the world through art. I am happy to report that almost 40 years later, I am honoring that promise by creating art every day for every conceivable kind of building, home and landscape. From the beginning of my career, I’ve been fascinated by the interplay between light and glass as I explored the artistic possibilities of refraction and reflection in glass fabrications. As I developed as an artist, I began exploring other media, moving between highly refined, polished materials like polished aluminum and dichroic glass to gritty, repurposed and salvaged materials like rusted steel and weathered wood. I’ve learned to let the story I am telling lead me towards the right material. Salvaged and repurposed materials allow me to explore the effect of time and nature on man-made materials or, as in the case for the Napa 9/11 Memorial, convey the devastating aftermath of inhumanity. Using a variety of glass techniques and applications for university campuses and houses of worship captures the experience of inspiration and illumination often found there. My work investigates intellectual precepts and explores emotional complexities. It is about shaping a story and expressing an idea, not just creating an object of beauty. When developing a concept for a new public artwork, I endeavor to connect to the site by researching its history and culture; connect to the viewer by listening to the community and understanding their vision for the project; and finally, connect to the landscape and architecture surrounding the work by choosing materials that respond and engage with the location. For a private commission, I establish a relationship with the client in order to fully engage with their needs and goals for the project and create work that meets, if not surpasses, their expectations. I am passionate about the process of creating art and humbled by the privilege of making it everyday. In a time when the speed and ease of technology robs us of daily personal interactions, art has the power to remind us of the importance of the human touch. My spirit is in everything I make and I am honored to share it with you.

Cities throughout the world increasingly recognize the value of art in public places and look to artists to strengthen community identity and encourage civic pride. Huether creates iconic gateways, way finders and sculptural elements that enhance the public’s engagement and add vitality and beauty to urban settings. Napa 9/11 Memorial Napa, CA | 2013 23’H x 25’D Salvaged Steel Beams, Glass Commissioned by the City of Napa Gretchen Stranzl McCann | Landscape Architect In a unique public-private collaboration, the citizens of Napa planned the 9/11 Memorial garden to honor the memories of those killed on 9/11 and the first responders who risked their own lives in their efforts to save them. Huether was commissioned to create the Memorial working with 30 tons of steel received by the community from the wreckage of the Twin Towers. The garden and Huether’s installation have become a place for the community to engage in quiet contemplation and reflection and express the courage, caring and compassion the world experienced in the aftermath of this terrible terrorist act. 8 9 10 11 The Bridge North Texas Homeless Assistance Center | Dallas, TX | 2008 7 Panels, each 8’6”H x 3’6”W Glass Commissioned by Dallas County Overland Partners | Architect Camargo Copeland | Architect The Bridge North Texas Homeless Assistance Center serves more than 6,000 clients throughout the Dallas Metropolitan area. For the center, Huether created art glass windows using various glass techniques, including mouth-blown and etched glass. He forged a real connection with the Center’s homeless clients; they contributed personal essays for the project, portions of which Huether etched into the glass by-hand. This project received two 2009 American Institute of Architects Housing Awards and a USGBC LEED™ Silver Rating. 12 13 14 15 This Page + Next: Aluminum Yucca | Historic Route 66 | Albuquerque, NM | 2003 16 17 This Page + Next: Salt Palace Convention Center | Salt Lake City, UT | 2006 18 19 Vessel | Regional San (Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District) | Sacramento, CA | 2009 20 Waterfall | Regional San (Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District) | Sacramento, CA | 2009 21 Fire Station #17 | San Jose, CA | 2008 22 Red Head | Art Walk | Yountville, CA | 2013 23 24 Huether’s work for corporate settings and private development is a reflection of the private sector’s commitment to enhancing environments where the public and private intersect. These commissions often provide Huether with an opportunity to enrich and heighten the aesthetics of a space and allow for art to be integrated into a site, blurring the lines between art and architecture. corporate + private development + private corporate Globussphäre Arburg GmbH & Co. KG Loßburg, Germany | 2009 16’ DIA Stainless Steel, Pyrex, Dichroic Glass, Boro-artistic Glass Rods Commissioned by Arburg GmbH & Co. KG Schmelzle + Partner Architekten BDA | Architect Arburg, a leading manufacturer of injection molding machines for plastics, commissioned Huether to create this oversized globe for the exterior of its new customer center. The spherical form symbolizes Arburg’s global reach and the dichroic glass panels and acrylic rods reference the company’s product. The sculpture is a vibrant complement to the building’s stacked rectangles and has become an iconic and unifying symbol for the entire community. 26 27 28 29 Applique da Parete 535 Mission Street | San Francisco, CA | 2014 140’L x 18’H x 15”D Dichroic Glass, Mirrored Glass, Etched Glass Commissioned by Boston Properties Boston Properties | Developer HOK | Architect Boston Properties developed 535 Mission, a 27-story addition to the San Francisco skyline, and commissioned Huether to create artwork for the lobby space. The multi- pieced work starts on the building’s exterior façade on Mission Street, continues through the lobby and comes to an end on the Minna Street façade, breaching the traditional boundary between outdoor and in. Huether’s large-scale wall installation brims with vibrant color, texture and pattern that is refracted, transmitted and reflected, resulting in a wall of light that brings life and excitement to 535 Mission’s public space. 30 31 32 33 Rostrum Miramar Village | White Rock, BC, Canada | 2013 14’W x 14’H x 8’D Stainless Steel, Locally Sourced Cedar Blocks Commissioned by Bosa Properties Bosa Properties | Developer NSDA Architects | Architect Rostrum, an amphitheater-like installation made of stainless steel and native cedar timbers, takes its aesthetic cue from the landscape and architectural design of the site. Huether blurs the line between art, sculpture and nature by creating beautiful art that also functions as an outbuilding.

  • An Empirical Approach to Colour in Glass
    arts Article An Empirical Approach to Colour in Glass Heike Brachlow School of Arts & Humanities, Royal College of Art, London SW7 2EU, UK; [email protected] Received: 1 December 2018; Accepted: 15 January 2019; Published: 18 January 2019 Abstract: This paper focuses on the characteristics and use of transparent homogenous coloured glass for cast glass sculpture. It provides an overview of glass colouring agents and their characteristics, and establishes factors that influence the appearance of colour in glass. Methods to visually evaluate appropriate colour density for a given form are discussed, as well as essential characteristics that a form must possess to achieve results within a density threshold area, where coloured glass changes in value and/or hue between thick and thin sections. Keywords: colour; volume colour; glass; glass casting; glass sculpture; glass art; optics; density threshold 1. Introduction Colour in glass is an extensive subject and one that I have been researching for many years, with a focus on colours for kiln cast solid glass sculpture. A given form’s appearance can change drastically depending on its colour, and on whether it is transparent, translucent or opaque. Colour decisions are of critical importance to glass artists—they can ‘make or break’ a work. Many glass artists’ approach to choosing colour may be loosely defined as ‘hit and miss’, a method which becomes more reliable as an artist’s experience increases. While glaze testing is an integral part of ceramics methodology, this approach is not always suitable for glass. Although glass artists do employ colour tests, especially when working with frits and powders or designs with multiple colours, to obtain effective test results on how a transparent colour works within a form, one would have to test at full scale, and essentially make a duplicate of the form, the first one being the test.

  • Utah's Inspirational Role in the New Slc's Stunning Design
    THE NEW SLC AIRPORT CLEARED FOR TAKEOFF SEPTEMBER 15, 2020 UTAH’S INSPIRATIONAL ROLE IN THE NEW SLC'S STUNNING DESIGN PASSENGER AMENITIES APLENTY FABULOUS NEW SHOPPING & DINING OPTIONS WELCOME TO THE NEW SLC No doubt, flying is a magical experience. As the plane takes off and the land below becomes smaller and smaller, the world seems to melt away as you embark on a journey that will become part of your story. Airports become part of our travel stories, too, and some are more memorable than others. Maybe you remember Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL) for the Christmas Eve dinner you ate there after missing a connecting flight due to a massive winter storm. Or the Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD), where someone helped you connect when you couldn’t find your gate because, at that airport, gates are not assigned until 20 minutes prior to departure. Or maybe you go out of your way to connect through the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) so you can visit the little shop with the so-unique gifts you found by accident there. When The New SLC International Airport (SLC) opens September 15, we’re confident it will rise to the top of exceptional travel experiences for all those who pass through it, even if they never step foot outside of the building. What will travelers remember about The New SLC? From awe-inspiring art installations like The Canyon and The Falls, and the Delta Sky Club’s outdoor deck, with its beautiful mountain views to the electric plug- ins at each seat in the gate waiting areas to the eclectic roster of high-end shops and restaurants with street pricing, there’s plenty to be impressed by within The New SLC.
