Hank Murta Adams: Cause I was a student of Dale’s [Chihuly] at RISD [Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, Rhode Island] undergrad—I was a painter. I started to hang out with Dale’s ‘family,’ so to speak, and it was entrancing, and it was community, and it was also new. And so I completely embraced that, and the cast of characters that were there—and it was Howard Ben Tré, Toots Zynsky, Steve Weinberg—all those people within the ten years that Dale taught there were sort of—I was at the tail end, I think it was at year eight or nine there, I’m not sure. So it was very much a family and embracing for me.
