| Milissa Montini | "New Glass Review 28" from
the Corning Museum of Glass. Our very own Milissa Montini has made her second appearance in the this year's Review (she was in a few years ago and also in a recent anniversary edition) with her piece, "Lizard." There were four juror's and two singled out Milissa's work for mention in their essay: From Kathleen Mulcahy: "There is an amazing beauty in the cast murrine plate by Milissa Montini with its overlapping patterns and an exquisite surface that appears to be ancient. Her plate is a technical feat, but it is driven by a rich and extraordinary patterning, and by the working and reworking of the surface until it yielded in her hands." From Tina Oldknow, Curator of Modern Glass at Corning: "For outstanding design, I want to mention the work of Kait Rhoads, Nancy Callan, Marten Medbo, and Milissa Montini....... Similarly, the lacy surface of Montini's Lizard would not be mistaken for a traditional doily. In addition to the evocative title, which leads me to think of such things as scales and heat, the object has a serious and self-absorbed demeanor, which is partly the reflection of the artist's investment of energy in the form of labor." |
