| Why Did You Become An Artist |
I never ever considered a career in art, it just was never in my awarness. I considered myself a technician for many years. However when I began to unburden my psyche/Soul through my prolonged Spiriutal search (Shamanic, Buddhist,Ridhwan School etc)I began to experience a heightened and permanent sense of creative expression which I channeled into my decades experience as a glass artist. |

| Your Personal Biography |
Michael Bokrosh was born 1953 in Mankato, Minnesota and grew up surrounded by the glass tradition of his father, Michael Jr., a master glass craftsman for over 50 years. At the age of 14 Michael began his glass apprenticeship under the guidance of his father at Zeno glass company in Mankato.
Ever since the early inception of Bokrosh Studio in 1985, customers would seek out Bokrosh's talent for glass restoration, e.g., the repair of damaged glass art sculpture. The immense popularity of the glass art movement in the past 30 years and the inherent fragility of the medium of glass have resulted in the establishment of a glass repair and restoration division at Bokrosh Studio. For over 20 years Michael Bokrosh has refined these unique restoration skills, and combines them with a high degree of quality customer service for his glass restoration customers.
In early 1996 Bokrosh had the dream of creating his optical art sculptures on a truly grand scale. He began to design and construct a large glass-grinding Glass Work in Progress machine that would cut and polish massive pieces of glass on a scale never seen before. Much like the famous line from the movie Field of Dreams; 'Build it, and they will come.' Bokrosh built the machine and was able to purchase, from Pilkington Glass of England, one very large piece of transparent gold optical glass that weighed over 3500 pounds! This enormous piece of optical glass gave Bokrosh the opportunity to fully engage his dream of creating massive optical glass sculptures filled with intricately cut facets on the surface. The first sculpture of the Monumental Glass Series was completed in the year 2000 and is titled 'MerginGold.'. Bokrosh studio is currently in the process of creating additions to the Monumental Glass Series plus other interesting and creative monumental glass art sculptures.
Currently the future continues to be bright for glass artist Michael Bokrosh as his artistic ascetic is opening daily to the beautifully creative and abundant Universe. Michael Bokrosh holds the intention to be sacredly balanced within the artistic life, and so the finest creations have only to wait patiently to be released by his hand. |
