Glass Hearts
Glass artist Tim Tate has been HIV positive for 22 years. It was this diagnosis and his Mothers death that propelled him into glass making, and hearts in particular. I find his glass hearts full of wonder and pain at the same time. And I love his 'Reliquaries' where he has added writing to the surface. One has to admire such creativity born from illness and pain...
These are truly amazing as are the other pieces on his website. I'm in awe of his ability to create such beautiful pieces from personal pain (loss of his mother)and from his own life experience with hiv.
