Hot-worked and cased glass, cut, assembled.

With the artist Gary Beecham, who assisted in the making of the larger sculptures, Littleton began a series of veiled pieces in which two glass forms, each at a different temperature, were forcibly combined by shoving a cooler, hardened cone-shaped piece into a hotter and softer ovoid form. This action created a distinctive distortion of the overlays, which is seen in this sculpture. The "Conical Intersection" sculptures powerfully evoke the drama of their creation and display formal and color relationships of great vitality. However, the problems inherent in the creation of these objects, and in annealing them, made them difficult to produce, and only a handful of these sculptures were completed.
