Francis Muscat
In 1980 I enrolled in the Kiln Fired Glass course at O.C.A. It was then that I knew this material is what I
want to be working with and conquer. There I learned the technical aspects of warm glass.
Upon further discoveries I wanted to start to build with glass.
Glass for me was the primary material to use. I started to combine it with metals, wood, stone and other material and discovered that glass begs to be partnered with other material.
Stone and glass speak to each other in harmony. There is a relationship there that is metaphysical; one comes to and goes from the other.
Glass by itself is inherently seductive. My challenge is to use it as any other artist’s material; hence I subdue its polished quality and take advantage of its translucent qualities.
The architect that I am not expresses himself through my sculpture. I love to make buildings, small ones,
and put them up on pedestals or stilts. They are proud and symbolic of our value.
The human figure is another favorite common theme that I constantly work on. The idea for a
series titled “Falling Angels” materialized from a dream.
