evolution of ideas

Posted by Bearclaw78 on 7/5/2006

this gallery page isn't featuring a piece, but several. i categorized this page as collaborative glass art not because it is a collaboration piece. but a sort of collaboration of thought. the evolution of an idea. one pattern, in a sea of possibilities. thanks and props to J.P. for being an innovator and for pushing boundaries. i feel we bounced this back and forth a little in a really cool and positive way. the sub category is tips and how to's, because i think it is a great example of two artists being inspired by eachother, and respectfully working ideas out, from across the country. again, it's just one small evolution in an ocean of possibilities, not hyping anything,. just thought it was cool. thanks j.p.,,, i'll post some pics of pieces tied to this soon. thanks for looking.

started working with glass in the fall of 1998...full time all the time since. having no formal training, i feel joy watching the barriers of this medium fall before me. each day is a lesson, and one step closer to full expression. always learning, always a student. production for the first four years, and since, have been working hard to let my own styles develope and evolve.. I love glass...thanks for looking **the pieces in this gallery are not for sale, and are not intended for any purpose other than viewing** thanks...glasspipes.org. and...thataintart.com
