This Beautiful Soul. Black Madonna of Utter Loveliness and Glory. by Vanessa German
Poet, performer, photographer, and sculptor Vanessa German creates works that explore the power of transformation and healing. She scours her Pittsburgh neighborhood searching for objects to incorporate into her art. "I surrender myself to the objects that call up to me," she has said. This intricate mixed-media sculpture combines acryic, coins, bottle caps, rhinestones, and glitter. With these three-dimensional collages German reclaims objects and words that symbolize the oppression of African Americans for generations, creating serene, if surreal, figures.

Faux Roman Cage by Ashley McFarland
A cage cup, also vas diatretum, plural diatreta, or "reticulated cup" is a type of luxury late Roman glass vessel, found from roughly the 4th century, and "the pinnacle of Roman achievements in glass-making". Diatreta consist of an inner beaker and an outer cage or shell of decoration that stands out from the body of the cup, to which it is attached by short stems or shanks. About fifty cups or, more often, fragments have survived, and there are only a few in near-complete condition. This reimagined cage cup is a lost wax crystal casting and is composed of two parts- the inner bowl and the basket in which it sits.

Peony by Lyla Nelson
Lyla Nelson's childhood summers in Puerto Rico were filled with crayons and learning to paint from the next door neighbor in the yard. Relocating to the U.S. for her adolescent and high school years, ceramics became an integral part of her exploration into other mediums. From crayons to paint to fibers to ceramics, discovering the medium of glass challenged Lyla in new ways. Her botanical series, which this work is from, combines blown glass with coldworking techniques like sand carving to create the intricate layers of color and texture.

Inspire (Dandelion) by Percy Echols
Blown and engraved glass, with metal stand Made during Pittsburgh Glass Center Technician Apprenticeship in 2017. Inspire is a series of blown glass lungs, which began as an exercise in drawing on glass using engraving and carving techniques. In creating the lungs, an effortless fluidity and breath are required to give it shape and form. To balance these efforts, like its namesake, I let the process be my inspiration. Each drawing starts with a series lines that wrap around the piece. These lines are then used as guides to create an evolving pattern when viewed from multiple perspectives. While Design is the focus of the work, the labor reveals something beautiful when we can peel away the outer layers and see what lies beneath.

-ü-Ä-?-?-Ä-?-?-? (ghosts), #52 and #49 by Becky Slemmons
Cast glass frames created at PGC, ink & graphite on gessoed paper. Frames are 100 percent solid glass; no black paint is used' only black and clear glass.
In the 7 films that Andrei Tarkovsky directed (1962-1986) there are 66 shots in which a dog appears. Most are German Shepherds. In interviews, Tarkovsky refused talk about the meaning or role of these dogs in his films, aside from the comment, They are [just] dogs. But in a separate interview, I discovered that he mentioned this, paraphrasing: The night before I left my family and homeland Russia, not certain if I would ever return, I hosted a farewell party. All of my friends wished me well enthusiastically, but it was my German Shepherd that would not look me in the eye.
Each drawing represents one of the 66 shots in Tarkovsky's films, in which a dog appears. In the drawings, the scene is abstracted, and the dog's movement is documented by a graphite line. Tarkovsky's films are quiet and timeless. His films are comprised of archetypal vignettes which, to me, still seem to be happening now, no matter that the dogs have long gone, no chance of any of them yet being alive.

Delighted by Margaret Spacapan
Hot-Sculpted Glass.
The pieces are a true sign of the times of when they were made. The work was meant to feel infinite, yet resolved and was conceptualized from a desire and attempt to be always delighted. The final pieces of the series were sculpted with a team of three people just days before the stay at home order was issued in our county due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The finishing touches and decisions to complete the piece were made in the solace of my home studio.
