Artists are said to collaborate when they make designs together. Gary Lee Noffke, well known metal artist, and I collaborated on this series of glass vessels with “lampwicked” inclusions of colored glass and forged 24 karat gold. We both contributed to the eventual designs, colors and images. We each brought our own experiences and ideas to the table. The resulting pieces demonstrate perspective beyond our separate backgrounds. All these collaboration exhibit both artist’s signatures.
