    The Bridge Gallery is featuring a solo exhibition of fine art and craft fused glass by local artist and educator, Laura McCracken. The exhibit, which features kiln formed glass wall and sculptural pieces opens Friday, May 4 and runs through May 27, 2012. An opening-night reception will be 5pm-8pm on Friday, May 4.
    “A predominate theme in my work is energy. This can take the form of light and color in my abstract work, or be movement of the human body in my more expressionistic work. Glass seems to hold energy. In creating artwork with fused glass, it has a process that is repetitive and basic. Yet, when firing glass in the kiln, there’s a feeling of excitement due to the unknown, experimental nature of applying heat. I love how glass catches light and attracts the eye. It holds my light, my energy. It has a presence of its own.” says McCracken, who is the art educator at Manitou Springs Elementary.
    McCracken is known for her fused glass jewelry and dishes but her latest work expands on kiln-formed glass techniques with sculptural and wall-mounted artwork.
