Museum of Glass for the last 11 years,
where he continues to challenge and master
techniques. Built on the solid foundation
of craftsmanship, Gabe's work values the
importance of skilled technique through the
artist's hand in a machine-made world.
Vessels challenge common perceptions and
applications of the material. The process consists
of blowing glass into molds comprised of wetted
tree trunks that must be pulled away while the
glass is still molten. Each sculpture is formally
unique, but the series of work shares an interiority
where beauty resides within the dark angular
recesses of the forms.
