The one material that has had the greatest impact on shaping the world as we know it is glass. Here's why.
Since first discovering the world of glass art, I have been exploring the myriad ways in which glass has changed the world. I don't just mean the world of art. Glass innovations have shaped and molded scientific and technological advancements to create the modern world as we know it.
Without these innovations, we could never have evolved into a society so rich with scientific exploration, architectural achievements, and medical advancements. In fact, I don't believe society totally understands the importance of glass as a medium, from the lenses we wear on our faces to the glass fiber-optic cables extending across the Atlantic making the global Internet possible. As far as innovations go, glass is mostly taken for granted - a fact that I have made my mission to change. One of my purposes is to elevate glass from the commonplace to the extraordinary.
