Description: Henry Summa* helix design paperweight with an intricate design of ribbons, spirals and bubbles.Condition is excellent, near mint.Dimensions: height 12cm.*Henry Summa (1949-2008)Henry Summa has been working in glass since 1972. His early training in the glass arts was based on an apprenticeship at Glory Hole Glassworks in New Mexico. This apprenticeship emphasized creating and production of traditional and functional vessel forms. Summa built his first studio in New York near Woodstock. After 2 years he moved his studio to his present location behind his home in New Mexico. Over the last few years he has found his work growing away from functional forms into more sculptural and complex designs. Summa does extensive cutting, polishing and assembly after the cooling process. Many of his pieces include glass cane and murrini that he has personally made to add more interest and individuality to his designs. Summa has developed a series of faceted sculptures and paperweights, platters and vessels. He has developed a consistent following of collectors for his work.
