Add to SetSummary
The beauty of art and the innovation of technology are combined in Tom Patti's work. He approaches glass with a voracious curiosity to discover what the material can do. His career in art began when he discovered how to create small glass sculptures of layered industrial glass with a bubble inside. Notice how Patti used colors that contrast subtly and glass pieces of varying thickness.
