Steve Bonham
Working with glass places me into a position of planning, committing and (fortunately IN-frequently -) being penalized for NOT trusting my plan. A stained glass artist learns to follow-through. In this day and age which is defined by rapid if not constant change and instant gratification I see this as a healthy thing. A lead and glass project makes me dream in color - and lines - and makes me constantly question myself - my concept - my planning... But MOST of the time it is forgiving enough that if I trust myself - - - it reveals not only a beautiful piece of art - but a beautiful piece of me... and that builds both confidence... and self-respect. In my mind that is THE most beautiful aspect of being involved in creating art.
How
do I feel when I work on a piece? Words
or phrases that spring to mind - when I reflect on the work process? |
