Glass, Mineral Oil, Plexiglas

Installation View
For
this work Strachan recreated the major artery system of the human body
in
hollow blown glass. He determined that at a specific viscosity of mineral
oil the
glass would become nearly invisible. A 2-inch thick Plexiglas box was
built to
hold 300 gallons of the mineral oil in which the glass artery system is
immersed.
