This catalog accompanies the eponymous exhibition at the Vitromus馥 Romont, for which Philip Baldwin (b. 1947) and Monica Guggisberg (b. 1955) explore the theme of the labyrinth and present several works of glass art from their recent exhibitions in France, England, and Denmark, as well as new works created especially for the Vitromus馥 Romont. Their preoccupation with ancient history, the migratory nature of humanity, and the interconnected relationships of objects with form, function, aesthetic beauty, and symbolic meaning combine in ways which illustrate the artists' unique perspectives across civilizations going back thousands of years in time. With contributions from internationally renowned specialists, the catalog reflects the reinterpretation of a classical theme in contemporary glass art.
