Todd McClure
Todd McClure's stylized glass female forms are like dresses that are
defined by the body they adorn. There is a delicate contrast,
between cold, brittle glass and soft flexible fabric. While fashion itself
is a temporary cultural phenomenon, changing from season to season,
glass, once formed, can last for thousands of years.
McClure likes the tension that results from the union of these threads
of thought. The surfaces of his vessels are etched to further soften
them, and to evoke the translucence of fabric rather than the
transparency of glass. The forms are soft and swirling, with the twist
of the shoulders and pelvis that define the movement of the torso.
