Music by Claribel Cone

The ancient glass show was inspired by many hours spent at the Metropolitan Museum in New York. The main inspiration for the show came mostly from Egypt and Rome, often from the 1st to 4th century. The ancient glass I encountered held light and iridescence, igniting musical passages and memory. The paintings are outside the realm of historical placements, and more towards shape, light, and relationships."
