Nita Anabbiata

Massachusetts and
has done very limited
Judaica in the forms of
candlesticks and meno-
rahs.
Hutter's vase forms
have been included in
many exhibits and cur-
rently are being shown at
U.S. embassies in distant
countries after gaining
attention in White House
displays. His pieces
have been purchased
by many respected art
centers, such as New
York's Metropolitan Museum and the
Corning Museum of Glass as well as
the Toledo Museum of Art.
"Many of my ideas come from
thinking of different interpretations
of the volume of space that a vase
occupies:' says Hutter, who earned a
bachelor's degree in art from Illinois
State University and a master's degree
from the Massachusetts College of
Art."Most of my work is very geo-
metric?'

Human References
Another Royal Oak exhibit offers
works by at least one glass sculptor
whose style is very different from
Hutter's. The Ariana Gallery, show-
ing "Emerging Artists From Pilchuck
Glass School" April 21-May 28,
includes human references designed
by California-based Lynne-Rachel
Altman.
"I will be showing three heads
formed from crushed glass:' says
Altman, who also works with other
media. "One head is based on the
appearance of a rabbi I know.
Another is based on a model, and
a third is a mock head. I wanted to
show fragility in the ways I think our
bodies are fragile:'
Altman, 46, began forming the
heads by making molds of plaster
and silica. She then took crushed
glass, mixed it with liquid vinyl and
packed the mixture against the sides
of the molds. The glass particles were
fused together while the molds were
heated in a kiln.
Altman prefers clear glass so view-
ers can focus on the forms. She wants
existing light to color the pieces as
•
they are displayed.
"My work is concerned with the
nature of being or existence," says
Altman, who earned a master's
degree from the California College of
Arts and Crafts and has shown her
projects at Israel's Arad Museum as

"I use sculpture, sound, voice, text
— whatever I can get my hands on
— as symbols and metaphors for .
calculating the volume of life. I am
grappling with issues of loss and
embodiment, identity and mortality
influenced by the experience of my
Own body." 0
