"Ruthie Coffey, my wife, is from Ireland, speaks Gaelic, writes poetry and was a very accomplished ballet dancer. It was a nice surprise to find a poem that shared so many of her interests. Incorporating characters from the ancient Irish alphabet called Ogham, my piece spells D-A-N-C-E. The letters in the Ogham alphabet are linked together by a solid line and are read from bottom-to-top."

Stephen Yusko's studio is located in Cleveland, OH, where he creates forged, machined and fabricated steel vessels, furniture and sculpture. Yusko has taught at several schools and universities, including Haystack School of Crafts (ME), Penland School of Crafts (NC), and SUNY Purchase, where he was a Windgate Artist-in-Residence; and served on the Board of Trustees for the Haystack School. He has exhibited his work widely including the Metal Museum (TN) and the Ruthin Craft Centre (Wales, UK) and has received three Ohio Arts Council Individual Artist Excellence Awards and a Cuyahoga County Creative Workforce Fellowship Award.
