Kirkpatrick Mace

"The large scale 'Still Life' sculptures confront the viewer and awaken our appreciation of the visual world around us. This makes us look outside ourselves and recognize the celebratory aspects of everyday life, our dependence on nature, it's cycles and seasons.

The process we use when making the glass fruit and vegetable forms is unique. Our approach evolved out of our experience using the two dimensional painting tradition. As in painting, we have learned to build layers of color by sifting colored crushed glass powders onto hot glass during the blowing process. It was exciting to find a method of "painting" onto three dimensional blown glass, creating forms with a painterly surface of realistic color and textures."
