Susan Glasgow Taylor- Pittsburgh Glass Center Resident Artist Project- "Absence Of Body"

Susan Glasgow Taylor is currently completing a 2 month residency at Pittsburgh glass Center. Her project is for a solo show called "Absence of Body" opening October 3, 2008- January 3, 2009. The installation she is planning is called "The Communal Nest" made up of several hundred glass twigs that have been created from artists from all over the world. Each artist is also invited to send a quote to be transferred onto vellum strips and woven into the nest. The center of the nest will be lined with glass feathers and a large, sewn glass pillow with a indentation in the top as though someone has just recently left. Surrounding the nest will be 5-6 additional sewn glass pieces supporting the concept of "Absence Of Body"

*The exhibition will benefit both the PGC and local women's shelter, Bethlehem Haven, and will coincide with the International Women's FOrum also being held in Pittsburgh that month.
