In some of my work with glass, I find directions away from the intrinsic prettiness of glass and move toward a thematic and compositional visual statement. While this is rewarding, it is not always an easy thing to accomplish. I enjoy the struggle. In my current work, the PostSeries, I have combined , glass cane, cast glass, blown glass, and found objects while allowing the transparent and refractive qualities of the glass to dominate the work. In my vessel series, Interiors, I am striving toward beauty in form and color. This too is a challenge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"exhibiting-since-blurb\"\u003eWebsite\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.markrussellglass.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"exhibiting-since-blurb\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003emarkrussellglass.com\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/piedmontcraftsmen.shop\/collections\/mark-russell-jr.oembed","provider":"Piedmont Craftsmen Craft Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
