“Abundance”

These are brand new drawings from the studio. Vrij Glas was open again last week after its normal wintertime closure.
It is still early spring here, and it was so cold in the studio that I could see my breath the entire time I was working.
It’s a good time of year to blow glass- it feels great to get close to the furnace.

When I made these two pieces, I was definitely looking forward to seeing plants growing again, and the productive summertime.
“Abundance” shows an elegant fruit dish overflowing with objects.
“Rewards of Patience” shows some new growth emerging from a pile of discarded vases.

I haven’t met these two artists but I think the curator Anne N. Cappuccilli had a good eye to put us together.
Although we’re working in different media, we’re all working with incisions and subtractive methods of markmaking.
We’re drawing- in glass, paper and wood.

Happy holidays everyone!  Here’s a new piece that went on view at Belvedere Showroom in December. More to come in 2010! Photos courtesy of Belvedere.

The show in Corning is extended through July 24th.  Here are a few photos from the installation of the work.

Gallery director and owner Ann Welles painted the walls an unusual green/brown color, which ended up complimenting the pieces well.  The opening was a huge party because it was during the Glass Art Society Conference- thanks to everyone who came by- it was fun to see you all!
