Tendrils Opening Reception

Thursday, November 21, 2019

Please join us and artist Michael Skura for the Opening Reception of Tendrils on Thursday, November 21, 6 p.m.–8 p.m. No cost.

November 21, 2019–January 5, 2020

Working with glass as a medium for over twenty years, Michael Skura’s work explores glass as a material with a “mind of its own” and celebrates conventional defects as opportunities for expression of the essence of the material itself. Instead of fighting the many natural inclinations of molten glass, which are often seen by artisans as imperfections, Skura has been more interested in “coaching” glass to assert itself through distortions, bubbles, debris, stress marks, and chemical reactions. Lighting phenomena and other optical events are an integral part of his work, where often the light itself becomes the central artwork in its own right.

This exhibition is organized in conjunction with the Festival of Lights.
