Art GlassGlass and mixed-media artist, Joseph Rossano, exhibits in the Benaroya Glass Gallery at the Museum of Northwest Art in La Conner, Washington.Rossanos’ exhibit, “Vanished, Vanishing,” is a part of the landscape exhibit “The Grand View: Bierstadt to Brophy. Rossano’s work combines Douglas fir or Western red cedar with sculpted glass, found objects and photography, to create a mixed-media presentation of a vanishing world. Incorporated into his exhibit, Rossano installed a massive 4’ x 8’ cedar log surrounded by glass shards to highlight the components of his wall sculpture and express his artistic relationship to nature. The exhibition is on view through April 4th, 2004. "This Pilchuck shaped artist offers us haunting fragments of a vanishing world. His pieces range in subject from endangered wild salmon to the beautiful yet fading customs of beekeeping and water witching, as he continues the deeply personal examination of nature that began more than 30 years ago during childhood visits to his uncle's farm in the Catskill Mountains. There, Rossano immersed himself not only in the natural world of plants and creatures but in our old ways of interacting with that world. He expresses his own relationship to nature and a longing for a time when nature was more a part of our daily existence and industry of survival."
