Artist Statement:
Kirby (Buzz) has dedicated his
career to mastering stained
glass & copper foil, his
dedication has produced one of
the world’s most accomplished
glass artisans. The interplay
between glass & light has
always fascinated me, I see
the world in terms of line &
color, the challenge of
interpreting it in glass, my
feast. Introduced to his
life's passion at 20, has
taught himself disciplines of
design, composition, color &
construction. As a technician,
is as comfortable working in 3
dimensions as in 2. Whether a
floor standing unit, window
display or lamp, he introduces
a sense of depth & perspective
achieved only from a
dedication to his craft. His
meticulous attention to detail
enables him to use pieces of
glass as small as 1/16 of an
inch. As a result of his
apparently seamless
presentations, he is often
approached to repair or modify
glass work, some of which were
originally produced over 100
years ago. His work reflects a
cross cultural application of
many civilizations, including,
Central America, Chinese,
Japanese, Egyptian, Native
North American West Coast &
more. His original pieces are
innovative, fresh & made with
a sense of romanticism....
