I am so saddened to inform you all that may have had the privilege to know or to see some of the amazing glass produced by Daniel Trilli, that he has passed on and is no longer with us on this planet earth. Over the past year I have struggled emotionally and cried many times watching my best friend suffer from Bi-polar disorder and loose his ability to be the artist he was and even a person at times. In the last 4-5 months his medication had been effective and he had started to make some beautiful art marbles again. On Friday (4/13) he ventured into what would be his last headie piece, a 15 section all inside gold and silver dots dry horny thing, but this piece would prove to be fatal. Knowing better but suffering from some mental errors caused by the disorder Daniel worked about 15 hours with NO VENTALATION because of the cold weather, leading to severe metal poising and for several days suffered from vomiting and dehydration. On Monday night his mom brought him to an emergency room in a small

grungy New Mexico town, and told them the situation they only took his blood, told him they would get back to him and released him shortly after arriving because he doesn't have insurance. The following day he was to never wake and we are told by preliminary results that dehydration from the metal poisoning was the proximal cause of his passing. For those of you who didn't know Daniel personally he was one of the most gentle, genuine, compassionate, caring, enthusiastic, ambitious, all around talented, fun, energetic, artistic, friendly, imaginative, positive, shirt off his back well-rounded kind of guy. He will always be my best friend and I will forever dedicate my glass work in his memory. I have spent more time working and talking glass with Daniel Trilli than anyone else and I will try my hardest to use and share the knowledge, this great glassblower shared with me, to the world. Daniel really respected all of you who post and all you do to push glass into the future. I will never remove this page from my gallery and will relay all messages to his family and friends. Daniel Trilli we will never forget you and we will always cherish your contribution to the glass world. -Love Always Anton

That's awful.
I ‘m sorry for your loss. That makes me sad and mad. Insurance bull shit and doctors in it for the money. I knew fumes could poison you but I didn’t know they could kill so fast like that. Best of wishes to you, his family and his friends. Peace

what a loss..
i am very sad to hear of this loss to our community, we are on the forefront of an emerging medium with many talented people among us...this is a heavy loss which all of us will digest, reflect, and grow.this will all be represented in all of our work to come. Absorb Daniel's work for it is the work of someone who was saying something...the work of someone who was sharing his inner pains through OUR medium, this should not be taken lightly and we should all take a piece of Daniel along the way.

I dug his style,
and was impressed by the originality of his approach to this medium. His ornate shaping was a breath of fresh air to our culture and it challenged our concept of fragility, and similarly it reflects the fragility of a life.
I am saddened i never had a chance to meet him.
My heart goes out to his friends and family.

so many roads.................................
daniels journey into the unknown has begun my brothers,we should rejoice in the beauty that was shared to our beings,this is a tragic reminder of our mortality,a true visionary of shape and form has been called back to the earth from which all inspiration comes forth. this is our lesson our truth,i am very sad to hear this ,i often think of all the obstacles that had to be overcome by this young artist,it reminds me of so many other great artists struggles with their own phisical and mental obstacles.this is the great way at work,he is and will be a messenger of that way for eternity!keep em spinnin trilli!in our hearts and our minds,you WILL NOT be forgotten.

Man thats some fucked up shit
I cant believe the hospital didnt help. They are supposed to help reguardless of ability to pay. Its just not right. I never knew Trilli personally, but everone who I met that did held him in the highest reguards. It really sucks to see a cool head go.

tragic loss.......
I got a post on my gallery one day from Daniel that pushed me into a whole nother level of expression. He seemed true and honest to what he stood for. His style pushed all spectrums of glass tech..especially his seahorse collection was first class. I hope all that were close to him know his words and inspiration have for ever changed me and hope he has influenced the past and future of lampworking..My dearest condolences go out to friends and family.My families thoughts and prayers are with you..

I think his family would feel joy
To know the response this has gotten. Daniel was a huge influence on the glass community during the time he was here and i can say personally, he fully made me rethink the way i work, and im sure im not the only one. I dont feel as sad about this today as i did yesterday, Daniel was loved.
