Mathematical Daydreams through Antique Bottle Glass |

"When I began showing paintings at Susan Baisden’s gallery in Tampa, across from the Tampa Bay Hotel/ University of Tampa, I was delighted because she carried exquisite glass, including Dale Chihuly’s. One of my earliest childhood recollections of “beautiful” was the scrap glass my father and I scavenged from the dumpsters at the Alfred University School of Ceramics (he was working on his MFA in porcelain). I had never used these antique glass colors before together, and the simplicity of the grid format gave them room to breathe and glow. While the paint was wet, I took a stylus like a ceramist scratches through the glaze or the clay, and exposed the canvas underneath. Then I took the same stylus and used black paint to counterpoint those “sgraffito” lines. It was so simple but so elegant. And so pleasant to look at in the dining room!" |
