Galaxy Sculpture ‘Constellation’ by Peter Newsome

Constellation is a galaxy sculpture piece that captives all that cast their eye upon it.  Just as the heavenly constellations of stars are formed by a combined spectrum of totally different stars, constellations reflect this. It does so with a spiral assembly of different types of glass in this abstract sculpture.  Glass, stainless steel and marble come together to create this harmonious, intriguing piece.

Peter’s glass art sculptures capture the imagination, are open to interpretation, and can send the viewer into a dream-like state of reverie for the bigger questions out there in the heavens above us.
