Ghost Optics
April 2, 2026 through December 31, 2026
In the Museum of American Glass

Visitors to the Museum of American Glass will encounter a site-specific window intervention by guest artist and curator, Jocelyne Prince. Her work, Ghost Optics, addresses early methods of flat glass and bottle glass production. Of particular interest to the artist was the variety of Americana imagery found on the historic glass bottles in the collection. Wanting to source these images as directly as possible, Prince dug into the WheatonArts mold collection and honed in on one particular mold, a flask for spirits, which had an inset for interchangeable emblems.
