Thanks for the mention, but 'narci-glass' sounds pejorative to me. I don't see anything wrong with making objects that take advantage of the material's inherent beauty. Some artists may choose to convey meaning, some just want to make beautiful objects that are visually interesting or beautiful. Should woodworkers abandon using grain, metalworkers patina? I think it's an art snob attitude to attack this in glass.
ReplyDeleteThe Millionaire Matchmaker is a TV show where recently one millionaire was heard saying to his date: "Oh, you like to bust chops? We'll at least you're smiling when you do it."
ReplyDeleteI agree, there's nothing wrong with making objects that take advantage of the inherent beauty of glass.
: ) Please excuse the un-funny post?
Can an artist be held in contempt for creating something beautiful? Narcissistic Glass...can an object be vain?
The Anthropomorphic Art Snob is a character I'd like to see in a comic strip:
"That sculpture is so co-dependent."
