I am fragile
I am bullet-proof
I am transparent
I am opaque
I am clear
I am colorful
I am hot
I am cold
I am beautiful
I am invisible
I am flawed
I am perfect
I am glass
After thirty years on the business side of art glass, Jim Matthews has reversed roles to embrace the art itself. He calls it an “acquiescence,” a giving-in to the tenacious tug that’s been gnawing at him since a love for glass first stirred decades ago.
These are compositions in glass -- uncommon, curious and expressive. They are made using a wide variety of tools and techniques, manipulating the material in all of its various states – solid, molten, and in-between.
Jim would love to make a piece for your home, loved one, special occasion or fund-raiser. Just contact the artist to discuss the possibilities.
Finished pieces and gift items are available at selected shops and galleries in the Pacific Northwest.
