LIFE, n. A spiritual pickle preserving the body from decay. We live in daily apprehension of its loss; yet when lost it is not missed. The question, "Is life worth living?" has been much discussed; particularly by those who think it is not, many of whom have written at great length in support of their view and by careful observance of the laws of health enjoyed for long terms of years the honors of successful controversy.

Artist’s statement:
“These works are glass pyrographs that are made by drawing with hot molten glass, leaving the immediate charred tracery of my movement with the heat.
It is a way of capturing a fleeting moment and eternalizing it, and it gives the viewer the opportunity to see a gesture.”
Well, this is the coolest thing ever! “Whatcha doing today , Jill?”
“Worky working… painting comics with a paintbrush and paper. What are you doing?”
“Oh, I’m just using molten glass to capture the image of movement and a fleeting moment on a giant piece of paper with awesome charred fury, like a god…”
