Glass sculpture by Zak Timan

Transmutation in alchemical terms, refers to the transformation of turning base metal to gold employing the secrets of natural law but may be seen to the uninitiated as magical. Beyond this physical practice though there can be a spiritual connotation alluding to the transformation of lower level consciousness to divine wisdom inherent in humankind. The corresponding themes these 14 glass artists have been contemplating in their work include: transformation, growth, repurposing of material, transitioning of forms or states, and reflections on the self.
