| Artist's Statement |
 "Being physical with color and form is my love. After experimenting
with many different media, I discovered glass and was instantly captivated. The
clarity
of the glass, the roar of the furnaces, the heat, and even the constant danger
were all factors that influenced my choice of this difficult yet beautiful medium.
Glassblowing allows me to explore both painterly concerns and my fascination
with surface decoration, while continuing to challenge the other physical and
creative skills required to take the vessel shape in ever new directions.
My intimate relationship (talking to) the hot glass, the laying on of colors,
layer upon layer, the addition of textures through broken glass shards, threads
of molten glass and other techniques, is an incomparable experience. This fickle,
molten mass will allow itself to be coaxed only by those who know its language.
I strive to create pieces that provide both a tactile and visual pleasure. It
is through this experience that I can share my passion for glass with the world."
- Robert Held
