Flora Mace
American
(Exeter, New Hampshire, 1949 - )
Collaborating artists Joey Kirkpatrick and Flora Mace have worked together since meeting at Pilchuck Glass School in the late 1970s. They discovered that they shared an interest in the bountifulness of life, a belief that nature should be treated with reverence, and an appreciation for the smallest and the grandest aspects of the world.
Their early efforts combined blown-glass figurative sculptures and wood, but during the 1990s they began creating fruits and vegetables that can stand alone or in small groups, including a luscious feast of bananas, apples, pears, plums, and strawberries set in a striking bowl 3 to 4 feet in diameter.
