Sydney Cash: I would see him at openings in New York. In 1968—no, 1978-79, somebody sent me to show my work to Douglas Heller, and so Douglas got interested in my work cause I had been doing a lot of work with glass for a long time, and he knew it was not what everybody else was doing, and he wanted to show it. So he started showing work [clears throat] and I would see Paul at openings and that’s how, you know, I knew him from that. And then that article came out and he came down. And aft—one, maybe 10 years after that article, and I had been changing what I was doing. I was using industrial glass and imagery to make kinetically optical sculptures and some other stuff, and he said to me, ‘Sydney,’ he said, ‘Sydney,’ he said, ‘this is good. I thought you were just going to be a one-trick Johnny.’ I [laughs] always remember that he thought I was just going to do this bending over wire. And it was certainly an interesting technique that I fleshed out in a lot of ways, but I find that I get bored, or I can run through something for a few years and then it’s like, ‘Oh, this seems more interesting than what I’ve been doing.” And I go off in another direction.
