CONE ZONE Although his sculptures may suggest a sea creature or other marine organism, Peter Masters says his works do not conform to any known organic form. The artist attaches a minimum of 1,500 small spheres or cones to his pieces, with the lines and spirals created by these attachments calling to mind recurring patterns found in nature—such as kernels on a cob of corn, petals on flowers, and leaf and spike growth on cacti. The glass-topped works frequently take on the appearance of bowls, as seen here in “Green Glass With Yellow Cones,” porcelain and glass, 10"H x 18 1/2"W x 35"D. His work is on exhibit through Aug. 31, at Duley-Jones Gallery in Scottsdale. For more information, visit duleyjones.com, or call (480) 945-8475.
