With an M.A. in Glass Design (Kookmin University, Seoul, Korea) and an M.F.A. in Studio Glass (School of Art and Design, Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, IL), Korean artist Hyunsung Cho set out to capture childhood memories of towering cityscapes in glass.

Powerlines, tall buildings, traffic lights and cars on busy city streets dominate the imagery he incorporates into colorful blown glass forms that are sometimes surprising and always interesting.

For those of you who guessed that the object in my teaser post the other day was a Tim Tate heart, you are correct.  The hearts, which measure approximately 4″ x 2″, are cast glass elements that Tim makes for his cutting edge reliquaries.

When the light hits the diminutive hearts just so, they look like they are lit from within – lovely.

Are you a fan of the artist with the heart of gold? Then don’t miss Friday’s post – I will tell you how you can make one of these yours. (P.S. You won’t find an opportunity like this again!)
