作者 ロジャー・ローランドから皆様へご挨拶

ムラーノの伝統的なグラスアートがアドリア海のキラメキから影響を受けたと同様に、アイダホ山脈の色彩と繊細な光が、 魅力的、個性的そして価値のある作品を生み出そうとする私の意欲に対して多大な影響を与えています。

魅力的なグラス作りは ケイ土、金属酸化物、フラックス等身近にある物質からつくられます。これらの物質は欠かせないものであり、またハイレベルの技術を必要とします。現在私の作品は国内外の美術館や個人のコレクションとしてお楽しみ頂いております。

長年に渡りご愛顧頂き、またご関心を頂き心より感謝申し上げます。

A note from artist, Roger Roland:

A long-time fascination with a glass horse purchased on a trip to Murano, Italy, sparked my interest in fluid glass art.  Years later, while watching the rhythmic light trails of molten glass illuminate an evening sky in Hawaii; my attention was again focused on this ancient creative artistry.

Earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Glass from the University of Hawaii, teaching at the University of California, Los Angeles, and forming a joint studio/production enterprise, Roland R. Correia in 1973, gave me totally new avenues for discovering techniques and processes.  Production considerations eventually eclipsed experimentation.  The lure of the Idaho Rockies prevailed.  The easy pace of mountain living gave me time to work with beveled glass, engraving techniques, design, and drawing.  My new studio and furnaces offer the perfect environment for experimentation with gold, silver, and other design techniques.

Just as the sparkling Adriatic influenced the glass artistry of Murano, the mountain hues and delicate lighting become effects which I try to emulate as the molten ingredients coalesce to become pleasing, unique, and useful objects d’art.

The mystery of glass creation is based on earthly substances; silica sands, metallic oxides, and fluxes.  Encouraging these ingredients to cooperate offers the real challenge of the techniques of actual glass-blown creations.  My pieces are currently gracing the collections of museums and individuals both here and abroad.

Thank you for your interest in my creations.  I trust that they will grace your collection for many years to come.
