Robert Gary Parkes
"I make contemporary pieces that are useful and, at the same time, experimental. My objective is to make pieces that can be admired and actually used for a functional purpose. I’m pleased when people realize the pieces are meant to be used, and are intrigued enough to pick up the glass, and find out what it feels like in their hand. Most of my designs are incorporated in the form of vases, bowls, platters and other unique shaped vessels.
"I am constantly inspired by sand and water, I think because they flow very much the same way the hot glass flows. I aim to capture movement in the glass. Other elements of nature, such as stone and the sky, have influenced me in the past, and will likely influence me again in a new way."
