Saying Glass brings together five artists with diverse practices in glass casting and kiln forming. Their works span in form from the gestural and experimental, to the meticulously crafted, and engineered. This exhibition reflects the far-reaching edges of the visual, material, and conceptual potential, in glass today. Our title references artist Roni Horn’s extensive meditation on the element of water. Featuring the work of five artists: Anjali Srinivasan, Zora Palova, Michael Rogers, Joanna Manousis, and Andrew Erdos. (2020)
