"I approach each piece like a painter working on canvas, or a weaver creating an intricate tapestry. The simplicity of my forms allows for my complex coloration and layering process. It is the physical depth and density of that process that gives my work its soul, its presence, and its integrity. My optics are a window to that soul; a window to the life of the piece, like the rings of a tree." - Randi F. Solin
We had a special visitor in the studio. Michaela Harlow, originater and composer of The Gardener's Eden, stayed with us throught the entire process of making a piece of glass designated for a gallery. Although the temperature reached near 95 degrees Michaela stood there through the heat asking questions and taking picture... What a trooper!! Thanks for the enjoyable company!
