Skibska molds thin, transparent glass bars into ribbon shapes, which are then fused together to form larger pieces and eventually structures. Her stunning and complex constructions defy the notion of the fragility of glass, showcasing the incredible strength in Skibska’s structural adhesions and firmness in her filament – a skeletal logic that is more grounded than our senses can reckon. This installation will be on view in The Pilchuck Glass School Gallery of Bellevue Arts Museum.
Exhibit runs through September 21, 2008
For those who love the show, there is also an opportunity to meet the artist during a small gathering at her studio in Seattle. Visitors will hear from the artist and get to see some of her other works during a personal tour.
