The first thing I must say is that I have never seen the Front Porch Gallery looking more professional and lovely. The
layout and design of the show gives these glass art work the full exposure and
respect that they need and deserve. These are all recent works by members of
the Balboa Park headquartered Art Glass Association of Southern California expertly curated by Julie Weavering, the gallery director.
Here we see a selection of many techniques that make glass so
fascinating; blowing, kiln-casting, fusing, slumping, pâté-de-verre,
flame-working, hot-sculpting and cold-working,
etching, even powder screen printing. The works I have chosen below are
by artists that have mastered the particular skills they need to communicate
their messages. Technique is only half the story of good art.
Deanne Sabeck’s
verticle wall hanging flying saucer shapes are urging you to take them home
(ET). Tom Morosz transparent wings and cubes invite us to take a chance
and come fly with me. Kathleen Mitchell fossil bird beaks are asking us
to save the environment. While Jack Wade’s Venus Fly trap with tongue
screams “feed me”. Krista Heron’s wall piece makes us wonder which parts
are photography and which are 3-d glass drops. The shimmering flat column by Jon Simpson
brings sun to a rainy day.
