NEW GLASS - 10/9/07  These  pieces were created for the National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, for the Glass Now Gala 10/6/07.

These faces are from a life mask of Lance, the son of the Hopi Blue Sun Clan Chief. They are life size, and represent my interpretation of the Hopi culture and stories. I have tried to create these pieces to be culturally correct, and with the approval of the Hopi tribe member. This piece is about the freedom of the spirit.  In the Hopi culture, "color cosmology" is a very important issue. Only certain colors can be used, and they have to be in a certain direction. Other colors have to be placed in directional accuracy, and some colors cannot touch others. To use a Hopi's image is no small task. As they feel that with their image, part of their spirt goes with the imagery.   These pieces Plasma Fusion fused & kilnsculpted glass.
