The [awesome] glass skeleton above, <em>Embodiment</em>, is my jaw-dropping favorite of this series. The piece took over 1,000 hours of work over a two year period and is actually built from 10 separate units of glass formed from borosilicate glass tubing. The process of creating something like this is unbelievably painstaking as Franklin shares via email:</p> <blockquote> <p>Every glass seal has to be perfect, and this piece contains hundreds. Everywhere one tube joins another, or a tube terminates, glass tubes were sealed together. They have to be perfect in order to preserve the luminosity of the krypton. If one rogue molecule gets inside the void of the glass tubing it can eventually contaminate the gas and it will no longer glow. There are times when the holes in the seals are so small that you cannot actually see them with your eyes without the help of a leak detector. Once the glass pieces are ready to get filled with gas, I pull a high vacuum while the glass is hot in order to evacuate any dust or water vapor from the interior surface until there are literally no molecules inside the void of the glass. Then the krypton can be introduced and the glass sealed off. It’s an extremely tedious process, one I have somewhat of a love/hate relationship with.</p> </blockquote> <p>You can see much more of Franklin’s work on his <a href="http://ericfranklin.com/" target="_blank">website</a>, and if you liked this also check out the work of <a href="http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2012/03/anatomical-neon-blown-glass-human-organs-containing-neon-lights-by-jessica-lloyd-jones/" target="_blank">Jessica Lloyd-Jones</a>.
