— unpredictable thoughts

This is Matthew Naftzger. He is an amaz­ing man — warm heart and inquis­i­tive mind. He’s hold­ing a sculp­ture he sold recently; a sad and tri­umphant moment. He is a great art bud. Talk­ing with him is aways a pleasure.

My office [stel­larvi­sions] is doing some work with him, restruc­tur­ing his web­site and work­ing with him to artic­u­late his vision in an authen­tic way on the web. His thoughts are glis­ten­ing inter­wo­ven threads and hold tiny marked detail much like the art he makes. The work is an intri­cate orbit of space — time and the way in which  hu-MAN-ity leaves its mark on every­thing… that is how I see the work. I hope I can do it justice.

His new web­site isn’t ready yet but you can see work at the cur­rent worksofman.com

fused glass workshop presentation

I haven’t writ­ten about much Art here at unpre­dictable thoughts now that I have my stella gas­saway art­log in which I write about what is hap­pen­ing in my stu­dio and what new work I am mak­ing. That space is all about me.

This photo is an image I took at build­ing 32 at sher­man mills in the neigh­bor­hood of east falls. I live there and I have my art stu­dio there. This image is about the cul­ture of shar­ing I find so impor­tant in being part of the com­mu­nity. Sandy Chierici is one of the artists that has formed a col­lab­o­ra­tive to offer work­shops and expe­ri­ences to artists and nonartists alike. She hopes to increase the inter­est in warm glass in the philadel­phia area. This is a group of par­tic­i­pants in one of her work­shops tak­ing a look at a slide show of work in which Sandy explains tech­niques used in the pieces.

I have been work­ing with the group. I recently designed their iden­tity and have cre­ated some mar­ket­ing mate­ri­als for them. You can check out the tem­po­rary web­site : b32, a new site is cur­rently under devel­op­ment. It will offer much more in depth information.

Its great fun to take pho­tos and learn about other medi­ums and the won­der­ful artists that share the experience.
