after transplantation.
Colourful and dynamic art inspires me. However, I never expected it
to lead me on a life-changing journey. A physical and intellectual
journey. Physical because it involved the discovery and examination
of vases of extraordinary beauty from Venice and Murano, Italy.
Intellectual because it involved deep reflection about the meaning
of art and its function as a "repository and conduit of culture."
My journey centered around the work of Vittorio Ferro. With a
working life in the glass industry of sixty-seven years, he was one
of the world's greatest masters of murrine glass. My interest fast
became multi-dimensional, I began photographing vases and went to
Venice and Murano to find out more. Publishing became important to
complete what had become a significant and passionate part of my
life. This book records my journey. A "vasegraphy" (va: z-e-grafi)
or study of sixty-seven rare murrine vases made by Vittorio Ferro,
one-third signed, revealed in a kaleidoscope of Venice and Murano,
and my new understanding of art. A photographic journey with a
fresh approach to glass.
