Essays by James Yood (art theory and criticism, Northwestern University) and Tina Oldknow (curator, Museum of Glass, Corning, NY) provide background for the 268 plates (most in color). Morris is based near Seattle; his extensive exhibition, award, and bibliographic history is included. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR.

"This volume intimately follows Randal's journey of discovery. The detailed text and many full-color photos offer the reader an illuminating view of his artistic process as he taps ever-new sources of imagination and accepts the multifarious challenges of their design and execution. A fascinating chapter documents the evolution of a spectacular piece in his Larger than Life Series from beginning to end, educating the reader about a complex and little-known fabrication method."--BOOK JACKET.

"Art historians Sam Hunter and Laura Stewart examine the work [of Richard Jolley] in terms of both its contemporary impact and background, and they also explore the artist's more subtle inspirations, personal motivations and daring new directions"--Jacket, p. [3].
