"Creating these sculptures starts by collecting images. Visualizing nature in ever more detail. Next I draw and paint to explore form and pattern. Training my senses to be aware of proportion. I change the scale and orientation. I abstract, and crop to find a new approach. Finally, there is a flourish in the glass studio; gathering, sifting, marking, shaping, blowing, stretching. I transform these images into blown glass using traditional and innovative techniques. They come alive to me there, but they are not finished. The forms must be carved to completion, the patterns brought to maturity, and the objects given a place to rest." - Joe Grant
