Michael Glancy: And so that connection allowed me to realize that there are a lot of potential connections, and that we should all look for those, you know, and so I have. And I’ve found a lot of them through ancient glass, but this article by Paul is really pretty good cause he sort of talks about, you know, I’m influenced by everything from the Islamic glass to the Roman pieces to the pattern on a tire, on a Michelin tire on a Ferrari, or—you know, all sorts of things. And that’s all true. None of them really are as potent as the ancient stuff for me.
