Saskatchewan artist Jacqueline Berting created The Glass
Wheatfield - A Salute to Canadian Farmers. It is made up
of 11 000 individually crafted waist-high stalks of glass
wheat mounted in a steel base. The average cylindrical stem
is 40 in. tall with a diameter of 1/8 in. Each head of
wheat contains the equivalent amount of glass as a cone that
is 4 in. long with a base diameter of 3/4 in. Approximately how
much glass did Jacqueline use for the sculpture?
