Please join us in celebrating the opening of Field Notes: Artists Observe Nature at Museum of Glass!
Since the turn of the 20th century, there have been significant artistic moments in which artists have sought to mimic the forms and patterns of nature in glass. Field Notes: Artists Observe Nature explores specimens of work from the Art Nouveau period to the contemporary. With works by Vittorio Costantini, Joey Kirkpatrick, René Lalique, Flora C. Mace, and William Morris, among others, Guest Curator Linda Tesner has gathered an array of glass flora and fauna, ranging from vessels with applied hot-sculpted pinecones, to birds drawn in glass powder on glass pages, to intricately flameworked, etymologically accurate glass insect specimens.
