BARRY SAUTNER - TRANQUILITYSigned, 1998, Sand carved glass, 10h x 4d. Barry was born in Philadelphia, and later moved to the Flemington area, where he lived for nearly 30 years before relocating to Florida. His background as a glass-blower in New Jersey for nearly 10 years was fueled by a passion to explore glass as a means of artistic expression. But after an illness forced him out of the sweltering heat of the furnace room, he found he had artistic visions yet to be fully realized in glass. "Glass has always been my canvas and my voice," Saunter said. In describing his artistic passion, he said, "In my carvings, I attempt to express my innermost feelings which for me, are difficult to express verbally. Major themes in my work have included the environment, beauty, nature, mythology, and the spiritual nature of man as well as people's struggles with themselves. I've attempted to bring the past into the present and future by developing methods that challenge me to take glass carving beyond its acknowledged limits. In addition, I create each piece with a great degree of fine detail, hoping to involve and captivate the viewer with the piece and the message contained therein. I sincerely hope that my art will represent to the viewer something more than virtuoso carving.” Barry’s work has been displayed at a variety of museums and galleries, and his work is part of the permanent collections of the; Bergstrom-mahler Museum, the Birks museum, the Museum of American Glass and the Newark Museum, as well as many private collections.
