The role of the artist in our society has changed over the last century. Artists are no longer the individuals that simply create things that are beautiful.
Artists are the risk-takers in our world.
They push the limits and then stand back to observe. They analyze where they have gone and how they arrived there. The artist is there to create that which forces or allows others to experience the world in new and different ways. My work for this exhibit is about the use of materials that is not normally associated with musical instrumentation, glass . The use of glass creates visual images through transparency and reflection of light that hopefully allows us a new look on the role of the artist, musician, music, audience, and the overall fragility that holds our society and our lives together.
