Recently I was included recently included in a new book,
50 Distinguished Contemporary Artists in Glass, edited by Lisa Hoftijzer
(ISBN 0947798609 IL Publishers Ltd, London).
"As a part of the publication of a unique book about glass design
and making,
Judith Neiswander (curator, British Museum, Fogg Art Museum, research
fellow of the Victoria and Albert Museum, and assistant curator of Harvard
University Art Museums) and Caroline Swash (St Martins College, London)
invited over 500 contemporary artists in glass to submit examples of
their work to be considered by a major figure in glassmaking for inclusion
in a gallery.
Distinguished appraisers in glass chose 50 artists who, in their opinion,
represented "the best work of their generation".
