Ray DudleyRay Dudley has been knee-deep in fabric since the seventies and fabric appears to describe him.
"The textures invoke a sense of style and drama, while the movement and drape mirrors many organic forms. That’s why I enjoy working with this medium, the smoothness of the glass and the hand of the material go together to create a stimulating feel which is visually complex."
Ray's roots began in costume development designing for professional dance companies, theaters, and pageants and then developed quickly into commercials, ballet companies and photo shoots.
At his home studio in East Atlanta, GA he continues to experiment with the unique style of fabric-decorated glass that he invented almost fifteen years ago. Using different adhesives, paints and forms Ray's work has a unique appeal, it's organic beauty unparalleled except for nature itself.
