It has deveolped into our most ambitious and varied work since we came to glass in 1979. With these pieces we have moved to free standing sculpture in two media, glass and metal. The core of the piece is its metal spine - the waving, undulating, linear quality which provides the structural backbone of the work. The glass gives it its freedom, its imagination, its life and bouyant exuberance. Our research in color and cutting is applied here in multiple combinations of size, texture and pattern. Each piece tells a story from sphere to sphere, a conversation as in a musical score. The whole is meant to make you laugh, to smile, to delight in play of word, idea, and sculptural form. Rubberband, Curley Que, High Wire Act. The titles are lighthearted, and assist in the leap to a simple idea of abstract beauty in glass. The sphere is a fundamental and ubiquitous shape in our world and universe. It acts here as a buiding block for an image, a play on things and beings and activities which shape our everyday world, in the past and in the present.]]>  </Gallery></Portfolio>
