Foreword by Susan Warner, essays by Tina Oldknow and Paul Greenhalgh, interview with Albert Paley. The Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington presents an in-depth exploration of Albert Paley’s artistic practice, complete with an insightful artist interview and outstanding visuals of his work. From Tina Oldknow’s essay: “This exhibition of one sphere of Paley’s expansive artistic vision is truly special, and the works are deserving of a studied focus…Paley’s work gives us a glimpse into the potential for new dialogues between metal and glass, offering another language for this mercurial material” (p. 40).
