Posner is a glass artist who was apparently amused by the rise to prominence of the glass art scene in the Northwest. Here in a kind of satirical cartoon, he populates that particular corner of the art world with characters from popular culture and art history.  He sees these characters in a chaotic reverie meant to represent the local scene of artists, their dealers, the patrons and the hangers on.
