Conceptual Narratives Series: Alliteration

Ginny graduated from the University of Georgia in 1975, with a degree in painting and drawing.  Soon after, she learned how to flamework glass.  From 1981, her work progressed from funky vegetable goblets to enigmatic sculptures. In 1984, she taught the first flameworking class offered by The Pilchuck School of Glass and, the following summer, moved to Seattle. She communicates her dreams, desires, frustrations and fantasies through her glasswork.  Her work has a narrative quality that engages the viewer as they examine the beauty of the glass.
The artist once wrote an essay explaining how her garage sale of ideas gets transformed into internationally renowned glass sculptures.  Mostly I notice (the ideas) in a corner of my consciousness, waiting for the music to start.  Some are wall flowers and require a little coaxing; some are dancing fools jitterbugging across the synapses, flailing their skinny double-helix arms, shaking their light-bulb heads and screaming 'make me, make me' - From Mind Over Matter, an article in Pacific Magazine by Paula Bock, July 16, 1995.
