The Inuit supposedly have over 100 synonyms for ice. Add Peter Bremers to the mix and that vocabulary gets exploded exponentially. Bremers, who deals in kilned-formed glass, makes pretty much one thing: icebergs. But the variety of colors, shapes and moods of these pieces makes those silent giants a world unto itself. If you step off the elevator on the 24th floor, you will be able to get a taste of his talents. As Rosemary Ponnekanti wrote in a recent Tribune article, “Bremers’ cast glass “Iceberg,” a teardrop hole carved into a huge, ice-blue hunk, is flanked by stunning images of the Greenland icebergs that inspired his work.”
