50 Years of Visionary Glass
May 31 – Oct 31
The Sandwich Glass Museum is honored to host world renowned glass artist and visionary Josh Simpson back to the Museum after twenty years.
With this exhibition curated by Melissa Brooks we are celebrating Simpson’s fifty auspicious years of working with glass.
The history of glass art is brought into the present with this brilliant exhibit of mesmerizing artworks, suggesting the timelessness and infinity of our universe.
“Glass is an alchemic blend of sand and metallic oxides combined with extraordinary, blinding heat. The result is a material that flows like honey. It moves gracefully and inexorably on its own in response to gravity and centripetal force.
It possesses an inner light and transcendent radiant heat that makes it simultaneously the most fascinating and the most frustrating material for an artist to work with. I do everything I can to coax and shape it, while all it wants to do is drip on the floor.” -Josh Simpson
