CUD (John Drury and Robbie Miller)

Chance, situation and humor inform non-traditional work in glass. Collaboration, concept and reflection of place enlighten the glass making processes to create sculptural works which display interest in recycling, process and circumstance.

John Drury and Robbie Miller share fifty years of experience with glass and celebrated a twenty year collaborative effort, in 2008, by teaching a course for the Pilchuck Glass School. To date, Drury and Miller have co-taught students from throughout the United States, Argentina, Australia, England, Japan, India, Israel, Mexico, South Korea and Guatemala.

The duo will act as visiting artists, during October of 2009, at the Alberta College of Art and Design, in Canada. In November, their exhibition How Soon Is Now, will open at the William Traver Gallery, in Tacoma.

“CUD does what it does not because it knows how, but because it wants to. They are the literal anatomy of bovine revisionism, the after taste at the end of history thrown up for our aesthetic rumination”. Carlo McCormick, critic
