DAVID BENNETT
I am very excited to have added the glass and metal figures of David Bennett
after many years of wanting to work together. Not having done so earlier was based mainly upon not having sufficient space in the Stockbridge gallery to show large scale works. David is an interesting guy on his third career. His first short career was in the military in the 1960′s. He then became a lawyer with a very successful practice for 25 years or so. At that point he wanted to do something different and ended up doing something really different: he became a glass artist! When I first got to know David’s work he was creating very large blown glass horse heads. I love that series and wish I owned one! David is now doing mainly human figures combining blown glass with metal. This ancient technique which involves blowing glass into a metal mold is actually 2000 years old but not well known or often employed. Also rather unique to Bennett’s work is the fact that they are lit from within by light emiting dioes (LED’s). David Bennett’s glass sculpture can be found in numerous major collections, both private and public. Check out his other works on my website!
