WILLIAM MORRIS: ARTIFACTS $40.00 Artists who choose to work in glass are a fervent if distinct minority in the realm of contemporary art. A standout among the shining stars of the art-glass movement, William Morris creates potent sculptural objects reminiscent of ancient artifacts. Blonston's text not only provides a context for the works illustrated but also comments in-depth on the artist's process and on those sources and influences that link Morris to his chosen imagery--resonant forms that echo bone and tusk, arrow and animal head. Photographs by Russell Johnson add up to a vibrant chronicle of Morris at work in his studio, and Robert Vinnedge offers flawless documentation of completed pieces. Capturing the spirited, unpredictable nature of glassblowing, Blonston renders Morris' artifacts through lucid observation and interpretation.
