Prospectus of this exhibition
 Since it was established in 1999, Tittot Glass Art Museum have already invited several international famous glass art masters to come to exhibit their articles in Taiwan. We hope more people here can experience the new world of glass. It was 7 years past. Some people say “seven-year itch” and it is time to come back and dazzle the growing fruits of our own people. Now, we are inviting two artists who have very close connections with tittot to dance with us.
 Frank and Joy were the earlier working fellows of tittot. They all hope to become a glass artist. Via traveling or tuition, they keep on going this way by their own methods. After years past by, they all return their home ~ tittot, and present the experiences and growing of these years via their own glass articles. They let the glass culture of Taiwan keep on running and running.
 Frank is good at glass blowing and casting. In this exhibition, he took the inspiration when he painted the nude sketch in the studio. He applied the techniques of blowing and casting to the most original shapes of life ~ EGG SHAPE, and combined with the most beautiful lines of human body to reach a dialogue fulfilled with living power. The round body with deep colors made his articles with his own humor and steady. Simple but varied curves made the bodies just like landscape of mountains and water that fulfilled tolerated spaces and thinking.
 Joy is good at glass blowing and fusing. Though she was living abroad for many years, her artworks are still going back to the most beautiful character in Taiwan ~the aborigine culture. She combined the western style of many years living abroad with primitive attitude of living and interior belief came from aborigine. Then, she combined the knitting of aborigine with very close connections of human emotions. It presented the stable passion of fire and shadow.
