Eric Franklin: Glass Artist

I can't imagine sculpting with glass. I don't think I would have the nerve or patience. Not only does Eric Franklin have the nerve he sculpts them from neon glass. Franklin compares his medium to the human body; glass can be both fragile and strong. The glass sculptures in his gallery include full skeletons, skulls, neurons, and parts of anatomy. Rather than focusing on the post-mortem aspect of his work, Franklin finds life. I love that the sculptures glow. The light gives them that life and makes me want to enshrine them. These are worship worthy.
