Rex Trimm's Gallery

Well, It's official now. The Spank Set #3 is now at the Museum of Art and Design (MAD) in NYC and in the permanent collection there. The set includes the bottle in the picture, but I made a goblet to go with the bottle and was unable to shoot it in time for getting it to the show.

Many thanks to Jennifer Scanlan for making it happen and all the good people at the museum.

The Jimi Piece

The Jimi Piece

I have been working on this piece for a long time now. This is the first. Since the music is written for saxophone quartet and I have three other parts and other pages of material to work with.

I still have this piece and I am now planning on the rest of the work to get done on it's companions over the winter.

Ne Mee Poo

Ne Mee Poo

Chief Joseph is a highly inspirational figure to me. The title means the real people in Nez Perce. The stopper was made by Milissa Montini and of course the feather is not glass. We had been waiting for a piece like this to colaborate on. This piece went to a collector in Toledo.

Dead Mans Hand

Dead Mans Hand

Wild Bill Hickock is fascinating to me. So is poker. I've had this one in mind for quite some time. I was reading this book about Bill and I decided it was time to start putting it together. A very nice lady from Australia now is the prowd owner.

This guy just cracks me up. A great patron of glass and glass design in his day. There are some neat quotes in his museum about glass in his early work as an illustrator. He even designed some glass through Stuben.

I still have this one... considering a companion piece or two for it.

Another version of the Spank set. God I miss playing with all those guys. If Dustin Lanker would ever contact me I have a few pieces I would like to send his way and get the Beaver Poster he made for us too.

Anyway... Lotsa fun with this image. Glad it currated into a good home! Thanks MAD museum and Jennifer Scanlan!

Thought I would shoot these just for kicks. I didn't quite have the teapot done at AGI, just the main bottle portion.

Some new experiments for 2006

Some new experiments for 2006

This is a new segment of my gallery devoted to obvious Venetian inspired study pieces. In music, jazz specificaly, it is imperative that one transcribe the masters in order to learn the language. Venetian goblets seem to serve the same purpose for todays flameworker.

Artist: RexTrimm ( )

Rex Trimm

I was born in 1974 in Ukiah California as Rex Trimm III. At an early age I enjoyed fishing and music. Our family moved to Oregon in the early 80's where outdoor living and a good climate for creativity was established. I began to take music more seriously throughout my highschool years and studied jazz and classical music. I attended the prestigous music school at the University of Oregon in the early 90's and on my 21st birthday I was offered a job touring and recording for one of my all time favorite bands, The Cherry Poppin' Daddies. Struggling to find my own voice after leaving the comfort of the very popular band led to alot of musical experimentation in other well known groups and then I was exposed to the craft of flameworked glass in 1996. I was immediately hooked and worked long hours to try and not only make a living in production, but to search for a way to make meaningfull work outside of my saleable goods. Working with glass and attempting to "stay in shape" musicaly was frustrating in these days.

In May 2000, I attended my first professional class at the Studio of the Corning Museum of Glass on the advice of a close friend. It was there that I got launched into an accelerated learning curve. The instructor of the class was Paul Stankard and his assistant at the time is my now life and business partner, Milissa Montini. Paul continued to work with me and overwhelmed me with projects and reading assignments. He tore me away from the comfort of production slowly at first, but it was becoming clear that I needed more technichal and historical information if I was going to be able to live up to the intensity of information that both Paul and Milissa had to offer. My skills were less than adequate with glass at this time.

I went to SOFA Chicago in 2000, it was there that I met with one of my most influential teachers. Maestro Cesare Toffolo of Murano was exhibiting his work. I could see he had a special gift for flameworked glass so I asked if I could study with him. I moved to Western Pennsylvania in July of 2001 and then shortly thereafter I attended a workshop of Toffolo's in Venice at Centro del Vetro on the island of San Servolo. I felt like I knew nothing about glass during this workshop, but I found that the Maestro's of Murano were more than willing to teach the level of excelence that seemed "otherworldly". I consider those involved in the Centro del Vetro movement to be not only great masters, but fantastic people.

After returning from Venice to the new shop, I was excited to put alot of energy into my work. By July of 2002 I was in my first group show at the Snyderman/Works gallery in philadelphia with my new oversized goblets. They were recieved well. I found myself exhibitng with the Snydermans at SOFA Chicago and NYC shortly thereafter, participating in the Renwick Gallery's auction and becoming a regular in the Snydermans exhibitions for several years. I even had the distinct honor of demonstrating and participating in a panel discussion at the International Flame Conference when Cesare Toffolo was the main attraction.

Hey Rex
Great to hear from you. Give a call when you get a chance. Take a look at my "Guggenschmidt" cup. I was also deeply influenced by the "Guggenheim".

I tried to do that stuff, but of course I got distracted. I'll wring you up soon.

Hey Rex!!
I wasn't poking at your comment over on Karuna's piece!! she's here in Hawaii, and they tend to say 'ah' after lots off stuff!!! (it's almost like saying 'It's nice, yeah?') I don't know if that makes sense or not.... anyways I hope i didn't offend you!!

Aloha!

The Contemporary Studio Of Glass Art

well put
"I feel passionate about whether literally displayed or not, the pieces tend to lean in the direction of a larger construct beyond the technichal confines of the material."

Me 2, I don't know if I'll be out g.a.s. but it was nice to see you on here,ahhhh the memoriesof the fartglass board. I haven't been on the web much, or should I say fucking off. lol because I'm trying to do 5 million things (at) the same time, like running a glass school that I started out here. All though I haven't worked on the torch for like a year, I miss it a bit all though it doesn't seem to be as satisfying to me because it takes so long to build a large mass and such. After the Hotshop is running more smooth we plan to get the torch shop rockin. Then you should come on out and visit, if you want?

I like the 2006 Trimm addition of work, and when we get the lampshop rolled out, I would like you to teach a gobblet making class here in the future, its the least I could do for all the entertaining conversations we've had.

The start of the new site can be found (at) glassschool.org, it is also contemporaryglass.org among other names , but they won't be active for a week or so.

Cheers

Michael Angelo Menconi
