EARLY PIONEERS
Joey Kirkpatrick and Flora C. Mace have worked collaboratively for the past 35 years after meeting in 1979 at the Pilchuck Glass School, Stanwood, Washington. They have created a diverse body of work that includes both blown glass vessels with applied imagery and sculpture fabricated with wood, glass and other mixed media. The artists, respected for their innovative work, have concluded the series for which they are most known, large-scale blown glass fruit and vegetable forms. They continue to work on life-size figurative wood and glass sculptures as well as outdoor bronze installations. Additional work includes cast panels with illustrations of the “first facts” of bird identification and blown vessels combining applied word with image, the subject organized by its alphabet, all realized through glass powder drawing pickups. Most recently they have presented sculptures of real botanical specimens, suspended in three dimensions, encased in composite and glass while preserving the true color of each plant.
Kirkpatrick and Mace have exhibited, lectured and taught extensively throughout the world. They taught for 12 years at Pilchuck Glass School. Their collaborative work is included in collections and museums around the world including The Boston Museum of Fine Arts; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City; Musée de design et d’arts appliqués contemporains, Lausanne, Switzerland; and Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Renwick Gallery, Washington, District of Columbia.
In 2015, Museum of Glass will present the exhibition Every Soil Bears Not Everything, a survey of the work of Kirkpatrick and Mace, early pioneers of the Studio Glass movement.
