"Michael Glancy's work is aesthetic, it is scientific, and it might be considered as growing, literally by hand, from a near-molecular vision... Michael's objects slowly acquire form and texture, shaped and revealed by cutting, sandblasting, and the application of copper. New forms are then made from existing forms, and the evolution continues." Tina Oldknow, Curator, Corning Museum of Glass. Listings wanted.
