My mom played tennis for, like, six hours a day and went to college on a tennis scholarship, because that was the way she could go to school. So they instilled in me the idea that you have to work hard for the things you want in life and never complain.

Toledo Museum of Art Celebrates Glass Legacy
Toledo Museum of Art celebrates glass legacy with hot spot: Contemporary Glass from Private Collections. Objects from studio glass collectors on view April 15 through Sept. 18, 2016, in the Glass Pavilion.

Hot Spot: Contemporary Glass from Private Collections showcases contemporary North American, European, Australian and Asian studio glass, with many objects on public view for the first time. The exhibition of more than 80 diverse works of art will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the opening of the Toledo Museum of Art’s SANAA-designed Glass Pavilion as well as shine a light on the impressive and storied glass legacy at TMA.
Artists represented in the exhibition, including glass pioneer Harvey Littleton, underline TMA’s role in the development of the American Studio Glass movement. It was in a garage on the Museum’s grounds in 1962 where Littleton, then a pottery instructor, received the support of TMA Director Otto Wittmann to conduct a glass workshop to explore molten glass in a studio setting rather than a factory. An experimental furnace was built, and though initial attempts to fuse molten glass failed, with assistance from artist and master glass craftsman Dominick Labino on furnace construction, the artists were able to realize the fundamental requirements for this new studio technique.
In 1969, TMA became the first museum to build a facility and studio dedicated to and designed specifically for teaching glass technique.

“Toledo is the American Glass City and the Toledo Museum of Art, as a major player in the history of studio glass as an art form, is committed to nurturing innovative contemporary glass artists through its collections, programs and facilities,” said Jutta Page, TMA’s curator of glass and decorative arts. “This exhibition is the perfect way to reflect on current directions in the studio glass movement in the U.S. as well as studio glass from around the world, with particular attention given to highlighting glass artists not currently represented in TMA’s collection.”
Hot Spot will be on view throughout the Glass Pavilion galleries from April 15 through Sept. 18, 2016. Glass works will be featured in eight thematic groups – the human figure, animals, plants, landscapes, vessel forms, the spirit world, abstract forms and space – and will include works of art rarely on view from private glass collections.
Among the artists included in the exhibition are Joyce Scott, Nicholas Africano, Tom Moore, Kimiake Higuchi, Preston Singletary, Debora Moore, Tobias Møhl and more.
The exhibition is made possible by 2016 Exhibition Program Sponsor ProMedica.
The Toledo Museum of Art’s landmark Glass Pavilion was designed by Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, lead architects of SANAA, the Pritzker Prize-winning architecture firm based in Tokyo, and joined the architecturally distinctive TMA campus in 2006. The exterior and many of the interior walls of the 74,000-square-foot Glass Pavilion are made entirely of glass. Itself a work of art, the Glass Pavilion serves as both a museum housing TMA’s renowned glass holdings and as a studio.

Sunday Poetry with Gypsy Woman, Jenean C. Gilstrap. Today: lost
lost
you say
you cannot find them
that they are missing
lost
words
that are lost
has your vision
taken flight
in the dark
silent night
then
try
the silence
the silence in-between
the music and the song
the silence where words
are born of windswept dreams
and die to sounds of silent screams
try
the in-between
where lips are wrapped in liquid gold
and suffer not the frigid cold
where lips speak only from the heart
you’ll know then where to start
in-between
the
silence

When I am putting looks together, I dare myself to make something work. I always look for the most interesting silhouette or something that’s a little off, but I have to figure it out. I have to make it me. I think that’s the thrill in fashion.

When I was fourteen and first started going out, I always wanted to be the opposite of everyone else. So I would go to the club in a polo T-shirt and pants and sneakers and a hat on backward, just so I would not be dressed like other girls.
