If she ever reads this comment she's the deserving winner of blown away. Please Minhi, for your sake, stop uptalking. You act professional and you are a professional but speaking like a teenager makes your work less credible. The questioning at the end of your sentences will unconsciously create doubt. Example: i hope that wasn't too harsh????? John moran did terrible sloppy work. Yours was shining!
I wonder if you could cook food if you marinated it in a salty brine just by sending current through it. Seems like it would be a whole lot more effecient than converting to heat first, like with induction burners.
Great listen, thank you for sharing your art Einar, Jamex and Tommy! So inspiring to see the transformation of yawls work into large scale and public works. <3 Andi
Pilchuck needs more intellectual discussions and less showing off. This is a relief to watch on youtube. The glass industry as many industries is in a closed loop of perpetual madness and shriveled unrealized investments. It seems entirely abstract that success of the individual is purely of equity and chance and not so much of culture in home place and living with ourselves and our community, more than littering the world with provocative criticism and not provocative hope. Telling story of BLM in a work, merely after the event is only a tease and not providing a solution. A solution would be to describe what solidarity looks like beyond the violence of a punching fist. The open hand, the open heart, the open mind, the open part to loving equality, not supporting the differences of a war with no winners. Tell more stories of artists, it puts the metal back in process. Glass blowing is hard, gardening is harder still. Move out of Velveeta cheese territory’s and the Kraft dinner of glassblowing.
Glass making is beautifully out of our control, this is where the genius lives, not in the constraints of the brain to formulate, but in the constraints to imagine. Go with the flow, is a human condition, going against the flow is a colonial concept to control everything and ‘correct it’. Technology is a repetition of the inputs placed within it, so it is inferior to the brain, that also is a sum of inputs and a sum of the millions of human inputs available, should we ‘care’ to become ‘social’ humans again, the one human has capability of 120 memorable friend, inputs of meaning and culture ‘called home’. The brain has the capability to maintain 6 subjects at one time, Ai has capability of one and can only dictate its empty versions of tricks which we also become quickly tired of in its ‘perfectionism’. Ideas are created from failure, not perfection.
With so many talented glassblowing artists, I had hoped that there would be more videos on your youtube channel. It would be nice to show the excellent craftsmanship through video so that many enthusiasts can enjoy the making of glass objects that are created in your glassworks.
