Title of the Piece: Tear Traffic

This piece wes made during my attendance to the ."8th International Blown Glass Sympossium" held in L'viv, Ukraine.This sympossium has been going on for 17 years, and was founded by Artist and glass enthusiast Andriy Bokotey.I thank Michael Rogers for inviting me to this unique experience where I had the chance to meet and work with amazing glass artists from all over the world, but specially from the former Russian territory, Poland, Latvia and Hungary. I was amazed by the rich glass culture they all share.

Most of all I was fortunate to work with master glass blower and Artist Wasyl Bilous for the realization of my pieces, and meet also his wife, who is also an artist herself Romanna Gudyma.

Tear Traffic was exhibited at the National Museum of Art in L'viv, and now remains as part of the L'VIV Glass Museum collection.
