Sculptural Landscape 6 by Rachel and Katie Rearick

This piece is a part of the Sculptural Landscape series, a collaborative body of work by Rachel and Katie Rearick. Utilizing lines and bold mark-making, Rachel comes to the collaboration with angles and delineation of space on paper, to evoke recollections of places that the couple has traveled. Katie then responds to the recollections by incising and folding the paper, drawing from patterns that are derived from everyday experiences. The marriage of paper and steel within this body of work is representative of repetitive elements of both their collaborative relationship and individual practices; as well as the dichotomy of the chill of a snow-covered mountain, and the warmth that exists within a home.

Pattern and Chaos: Fire and Ice by Becky Smith

Making a pattern bar is like having a conversation with the glass. After years of experimentation I have an understanding of how the glass will behave, an intuition of what it will say, and yet there is always a chance for a surprise statement.

Fire and Ice is a culmination of this conversation, the more rigid Roman bookend pattern bar vs the fluidity of a high fire both juxtaposed with the chaos and ever-changing pattern of vitrigraph pulled murrine. Using a semi-monochromatic pallet the work both whispers and shouts for the viewer to focus on the details of both the pattern and chaos.

I discovered glass at Kent State University in 2005 while obtaining my Bachelor of Arts in Metalsmithing and Jewelry Design. I am currently the Kilnforming Studio Coordinator at Pittsburgh Glass Center and have been lucky to call PGC home for the past 13 years during which time I have had the opportunity to work with and learn from a phenomenal number of talented glass artists that have inspired my work. I explore a variety of techniques in my collections ranging from technical patterned panels to environmentally and geologically themed sculptural pieces.
