The largest of these features jumbo glass panels, fused in Marosz’s massive kiln, weaved with colors and textures reflective of the Viejas Kumeyaay Indian culture. In 2013, Tom Marosz created and installed several glass features for the remodel of the Viejas Hotel and Casino. Another, created for the Law School of British Columbia, spans 4 stories and features 450 suspended glass spheres. The Vantage Pointe sculpture, a lit glass winged water feature standing over 18′ tall, is stationed at the entrance to downtown San Diego at the corner of 10th and A Street. Marosz’s broad skill set has enabled him to create a number of large scale installations. Many of his current works are created using optic crystal, dichroic coatings and kiln fusing. After 15 years in the construction business as a glazing contractor, doing what others said you could not do, Tom Marosz turned to art using his cold working, cutting and polishing skills to create the glass sculptures you see here. His efforts were deemed so cutting edge during the 1960’s that he ended up collaborating with the Navy Electronics Lab team in Point Loma.

Tom Marosz’s drive to test the limits of manipulating light began early on teenage interests in photography and optics yielded early holography projects.
