ROBERT HODGES Statement The primary inspiration for my glass sculpture is the interaction of color and light. Color in glass possesses a unique quality because of its response to varied light sources. It can either be relected or transmitted with very different effects under differing conditions. I accentuate the emotive aspect of color in this series through subtle changes or shifts in color within the internal layer of each piece. Outer layers of color are added to provide additional support for the mood of the internal layer. Thick casings of clear glass help to separate the various layers of color and reinforce the mood unique to each piece.
