Toots Zynsky: A Passion for Red By Davira S. Taragin After more than thirty years, Toots Zynsky has brought her work full circle: what started initially as an exploration of the power of red and black and then evolved into her signature, exquisite, multicolored glass thread vessels has become since 2007 a dedicated investigation of the color red. The earlier exuberant compositions that present a dialogue between vibrant colors and relatively symmetrical forms with subtly pinched rims have given way to highly emotive, lyrical expressions that rely upon the union of scale, contorted form, and color. Zynsky’s contribution to centuries-old traditions of glassmaking, particularly the technique she calls “filetde-verre” (glass thread), is well documented. Much has been written about how she moved from using timehonored Venetian techniques of making cane and pulling glass thread—having two people with a glob of hot glass attached to pontils move in opposite directions within a confined space until a long thin glass thread is produced—to co-inventing and employing delicate computer-driven machinery to pull threads that are then hotformed in a kiln into a vessel. In many ways, Zynsky’s approach to creating “filet-de-verre” vessels resembles that of a painter or a master draftsman. She begins by laying tiers of glass threads on a flat, circular kiln board. In the earliest pieces the threads were layered parallel to one another and then heated in a kiln and fused. Quickly transferred into a mold, it slumped into a vessel form with no defined flat bottom. After 1992, Zynsky began to experiment with increased scale by then slumping the completed vessel over a cone–shaped mold, producing taller vessels with distinctly defined bottoms. In the later work, the outermost layers of threads often are placed at acute angles to the lower layers to create a crosshatching effect on the exterior walls. One final step of the process, developed in 1984 while Zynsky was briefly working in the Venini factory in Italy, occurs when the artist dons special heat-resistant gloves to manipulate the walls of the vessel while it is still hot and in the kiln. After 2005, as the forms became larger, the folds in the walls became more dramatic and daring— an indication of the artist’s increased skill and confidence in manipulating the material. As a result, the dialogue between interior and exterior that marks much of Zynsky’s earlier work is less pronounced and the undulating exterior walls are the focal point of the compositions. Within the wealth of literature devoted to Zynsky, the influences that have defined her aesthetic have not been examined. Her passion for fiber has been discussed, particularly in reference to her pre-2005 work in which the glass threads retain their individual identity despite being fused and slumped in a kiln. Yet, nothing has been written about how the artist attributes her fascination with textiles to her grandmother, whom Zynsky remembers knitting long, thin strands of yarn into sweaters or, as Zynsky says, “making line into three dimensional structures.” Similarly, only recently have comparisons been drawn between Zynsky’s layering of glass threads in series such as her “Exotic Birds” or “Tierra del Fuego” and the feather patterns of birds she routinely saw during her childhood in northeastern Massachusetts. The marshlands adjacent to her family’s home had been one of the regular haunts of the nineteenth-century ornithologist, naturalist, and painter John James Audubon because of its extensive bird population. Zynsky has often talked about her love for music. Recently, she recognized the critical role music plays in her work: “Music and color are virtually inseparable to me, musical notes are colors to me and colors are musical notes.” However, since childhood, dance has been equally important. Discouraged initially from pursuing a career

in dance, she was attracted to glass after a chance visit to the new glass studio at the Rhode Island School of Design. Walking into the glass shop, then headed by Dale Chihuly, she was immediately fascinated by the students “moving constantly in what appeared to be spontaneous choreography” as they blew glass to the tune of loud music that competed with the roaring furnaces. Zynsky still loves to dance: talking recently about her sixmonth trip to Africa in late 1984, she warmly recollected dancing daily to the traditional music that she and her colleagues were recording for the special project that had brought her to Ghana. Since returning to Rhode Island in 1999, she has served as a trustee for the Festival Ballet Providence, a nationally recognized contemporary and classical company. The colors black and red, which Zynsky considers primal, were critical to her first experiments in 1979 when she returned to working with glass following a six-year hiatus. However, when the pieces cracked due to chemical incompatibility of the colored threads, she was forced to experiment with a wider palette. She never formally studied color theory, but Zynsky learned a great deal during her travels in thirteen countries on five continents from 1983 to 1999. While her sojourn in Ghana has often been cited as a major source of inspiration, she now talks about the impact of her studies of paintings from every period of time in European, Japanese, American, and South American collections. Memorable series such as “Exotic Birds”, “Tierra del Fuego”, “Chaos” and “Serena” resulted. These consist of open-bodied vessels with brilliantly colored surfaces and walls that appear only minimally manipulated. These series cemented Zynsky’s reputation in contemporary art as a leader among the generation of Studio Glass artists who focused on color along with content. By the millennium, subtle changes had begun to appear in Zynsky’s work. Compositions became softer and color contrasts less dramatic thanks to the introduction of gold, amber, and colorless threads. However, beginning in 2005, Zynsky’s aesthetic was impacted by a series of life-altering events. First, a commission from the respected Chicago collectors Natalie and Ben Heineman for “the biggest, most beautiful piece that Toots has ever made” caused her to finally identify, after a multiyear search, a United States company that could create the large spun stainless steel molds required for a body of work of significant proportions. Then, during trips to Greece and Italy respectively in 2006 and 2007, she found herself mesmerized by the drapery of marble figures on the Acropolis and the bronzes of Renaissance Florence, taking countless photographs that she revisited later in her studio. Finally, Zynsky experienced firsthand the upheaval of caring for terminally ill family and close friends, eventually only to lose them. Initially traumatized by her personal situation, she received a private sponsorship that allowed her a year to focus solely on developing a new body of work. Her immediate response was to explore red and black, augmenting them at times with amber and gray. “Red and black are the same to me as white or no color because they’re so powerful. They’re not pretty colors, like pink or green or blue. They are powerful colors, life and death colors.” The resulting “Ombri” (Italian for “Shadows”) series, consisting of works ranging from approximately five to twenty-two inches in height, deal with death, life, and new beginnings. Focusing on form as well as color, the objects brim with raw emotion. Because their walls were so dramatically manipulated, they appear to gyrate, at times resembling dancing figures. Zynsky later saw them as portraits of loss. The works in this show, created since the artist relocated her studio earlier this year, reflect the next logical progression. As in the “Ombri” series, form dominates, taking priority even over color. Folds in the walls are so

masterfully handled that they resemble drapery more than ever before. Manipulation of the threads to create subtle surface patterns and textures is now particularly sophisticated. In “Riscoperta Mizimah”, 2011, for example, Zynsky has seemingly re-created the lustrous moiré effect seen in silk. Although still focused on red, in this new body of work Zynsky no longer confines herself to a limited palette; in addition to single-colored compositions are works with a varied, multihued scheme. The colors are sometimes paler and more subtle, perhaps reflecting the inner peace that Zynsky is trying to regain. Seen in their entirety, these works with their curvaceous, seemingly delicate walls resemble blooming flowers and represent some of the most serene and lyrical statements of her career. Zynsky has never been a chameleon, moving quickly from one aesthetic to another. Rather, she works with deliberation, working slowly with color and form to bring an idea to masterful fruition. Only now is the impact of her personal turmoil of the past few years emerging in Zynsky’s art. It will be carefully considered and acted upon, then define the artist’s oeuvre for years to come.
