Steven Wrubleski     about the artist... Architectural Art Glass   My glasswork is significantly inspired by the beauty of the natural world. Discovering the energetic principles and distilling complex natural patterns down to designs which express the feeling and spirit behind the familiar world we tend to inhabit is where my passion lies. This energetic essence which I am seeking to understand is expressive of the fact that all life and natural forms are constantly in motion and interacting with one another. These forces of life and movement leave traces which we experience as our physical environment, as images. My designs include a quality of mystery so that the viewer’s process of discovery and free association is continuous. I like to think of glass as a slow moving liquid, rather than a hard brittle material. “Eidos” is an ancient Greek word referring to image, essence, and form.   It has been my good fortune to enjoy a home in the pristine natural environment of the San Juan Islands for the past 30 years. My studio is in a 100 year old, hand hewn timber frame barn, overlooking a huge marsh filled with bird life and the interplay of light, wind, and water. My family and I live in a clearing in the midst of large undisturbed woods, where we grow most of our own vegetables and fruit year round. Choosing this lifestyle allows me to be immersed on a daily basis in the patterns, forms, colors and feelings which inspire my artwork.
