Label Text:Another leader in the Toledo Workshops was Dominick Labino, a glass technologist for Toledo’s Johns-Manville Fiber Glass, Inc. Labino felt that understanding the practical fabrication process was critical to making “glass art.” Emergence XII is casually formed, perhaps because he was working at the extreme edge of capability at the time. The organic form of the clear glass, its trapped elongated air bubble, and its veils of color seem to manifest the liquid state inherent in all hot glasswork.
