Artist Statement:
“Then and Now” is an examination of some of my early work compared with recent work. I had never liked looking at my old work, but as I reached a certain age I came to appreciate and re-examine some of the pieces I made decades ago. I perused my old sketchbooks and catalogues. There were pieces I’d made that I couldn’t make today due to various reasons . . . (mostly a short little span of attention). I found abandoned projects that I felt should be resurrected. I found ideas I still wanted to explore. Thomas Wolfe said “You can’t go home again.” But I thought I could go to my glass shop again. Why not? It’s only 30 yards away.
