Ms. Duthie, you are wise...it takes time and effort and commitment to aesthetics and the joy of creation. But every time you engage in creating something, you face failure and ridicule as well...so in the deeper part of creative activity, it's not about approval of others, but attention to your own growth and path to your own aesthetic vision and capacity to learn. When Herman Melville wrote Moby Dick, he was emotionally and physically exhausted and it took a quite a long time for him to recover. Only a few hundred books were sold in America though. By the 19th century, Moby Dick was recognized to be a masterpiece in America, and in Europe, it was considered the greatest novel America has ever produced. There is a lesson in that. The creative effort is of necessity an absurd and lonely toil. Creativity is born from the inside, not in others. Of necessity, the creative struggle between being in solidarity with people who view and buy your art, and the incredibly solitary emotional and intellectual battle within to let lose the creative impulses and the self critical control to produce an excellence that can only occur within oneself. Solidarity and solitary is the inescapable battle that becomes human art, in all phases of human life. And the capacity to engage in the absurd struggle of creativity is certainly not evenly dispersed across human beings.

it seems he is also using a light to cure the glue!

He uses a clear engineering adhesive, according to Bill. Good luck with your project and send pictures.

Thank you! I’ll pass on the comment to Bill. Also, there will be another short doc about Bill coming out in 2018. Come back and see it.

Yes, I was thinking the same, but without wanting to appear negative. However, the work and the video is truly beautiful!

Dylan Meek's music is good...but other music was licensed from NeoSounds

No, it is made from regular glass plates with cutting tools and a hammer. He also has filters that makes each individual glass piece uniquely reflective. It's both a planned design and it is spontaneous creation of the moment. So each art piece is unique, like nature's snowflakes or the human fingerprint. His art is the essential human endeavor.

+David Whitley I agree. Outstanding work. Where does one find such thick pieces of glass?

Diana, I may have inadvertently failed to send you a reply. In that case, here is what I meant to send. You may ask Mr. Meek questions at the following email address: [email protected]. By the way, both of the Meek videos I've posted on KZfaq won film festival awards. Meek's Broken Glass was a featured showing at the Houston International Film Festival, one of the oldest and largest film festivals in the United States...so he has a following and likes to hear from people interested in his work. He's not shy. Feel free to write him if you wish.

or lung protection while grinding

Lolol nope

You are correct about that and I asked Mr. Meek about protection. He agrees with you. Most of the time during the filming of the second video concerning the Lexus Project, Mr. Meek wore a sophisticated protective face mask.

park jum ean the video of the glue was not found

I am not sure....I believe he uses a type of commercial grade engineering adhesive. He would perhaps be glad to tell you. He may be reached at his email address: [email protected]
