01
Artifact Overview
Dave Walters loves narrative in his sculptures. Initially fascinated with Classical mythology and subjects like Aesop's fables, he found that audiences responded to more accessible fairy tales and nursery rhymes, which is how he turned to the Humpty Dumpty story. This piece in his long-running series is fabricated from Greenfield Village glass.

This platter is a new form for Janusz Pozniak, based on experimental pieces he first produced at a glass furnace in Istanbul, Turkey, in 2017 and developed in conversation with Josh Wojick, Greenfield Village master glassblower. The colorations in the platter are from bits of murrini glass sandwiched together and fused into shape.
