The museum has turned the workplace into a theatre – you can even watch the performances stream live on the museum’s web site during operating hours. I made this image of glassmaking as performance. I’ve abstracted one of the artists by shooting down on her from an overhead vantage point. Instead of showing who she is, I try to say what she is, and how she feels about what she does. I pressed my shutter button as she brought her body forward to study a tiny piece of decorate art glass, still on the glassblower’s rod. Her hand holds the rod as a violist would hold a bow – with intention and strength. My image bonds her to her task – my composition has her array of tools flowing directly into her bowing form. It is if she is taking a curtain call, while still working.
