Over the years, Sidney Hutter has built up a vocabulary of materials and working processes by researching historical and contemporary glass cold-working and fabrication techniques. This, along with his interest in technological advances of various formulations of commercially available ultraviolet adhesives, dyes and pigments lead to the incorporation of pieces with an amazing spectrum of colors.

His sculptures focus on both the exterior and the interior form of the vessel. Sidney Hutter describes volume on the outside while portraying an interior landscape of color and light. By laminating a combination of rough and highly polished surfaces using dyed adhesive, he creates three-dimensional paintings. Each piece is handcrafted and meticulously sculpted to emphasize its unique intersection of form, color and light.
