This inclusive exhibition
showcases the variety of ways glass is used as an artistic medium
and exhibited. There are as many ways for artists to utilize
this plastic medium, as there are reasons why people collect
it. Glass breaks, sparkles, and fuses. It can be blown, cast,
torched & squished, … oh … and it can be worn,
and drunk out of, and lit. Glass art is a medium in which artists
express themselves through light and meaning. The magic is in
how the material is transformed by the artist’s hands. |
