Flock the Optic is an artist collective bound together by aesthetics, ideology, and inspiration. We are focused mainly on cyclical occurrences such as bird migration, rotational mechanics, orbits, group giggle fits, looping beats and movement through the color wheel.
As makers, we dance within the parameters of what glass can do, hoping to stretch into some new territory. These three artists are reaching the making process into a larger experiential space, adding the ephemeral nature of performance and a multi-sensory approach to a multi-disciplinary practice. By working in this collective way, Flock the Optic, and the performance based groups that preceded it, bring a new perspective and expanding lexicon to the ways we think about glass. As we move through the different styles and techniques of working with glass, it is always the case that the material itself is the performer in the end, the labor of the production has a poetry to it, as well as, a choreographed nature.
