Larry Zgoda
For over thirty years, Zgoda has created original art in stained glass. Zgoda has explored a collection of
materials including beveled wire and flashed glasses, crown glass, and Clovis Glass, a treatment in which
the separate glass pieces have a scalloped edge. Finding the availability of high quality stained glass jewels
inadequate, he imports cut-polished, faceted crystals for his exclusive
use. As early as 1980, he pioneered
experimental works with little or no color and in 1993 he began creating
architecturally inspired, stained glass sculptures called Architonomous Art Glass. In 2000, the new millennium found
ornamental, forged steel (wrought iron) armatures being used for their archaic
beauty. Today, he repurposes recycled
hot-glass materials to expand his pallet of colors and textures.
Zgoda anticipates a renaissance of ornament in architecture. Today, his focus is on exploring new visual possibilities, in which our ornamental vocabulary will flourish. Monumentals are freestanding, architecturally inspired compositions in which Zgoda explores the potential for a new, ornamental, architectural language.
