Inspiration / Artist's Statement

"It's interesting after working glass for so long, you just meet certain people and you end up vibing with them in a way that you can speak without speaking. By just working together, the piece naturally unfolds. We've always been able to do that, trust in each other's design choices, color choices and focus on the project at hand."
- Mike Shelbo
