"(...) Danish artist Tobias Mohl's rows of frosted glass bowls, slender egg sculptures (pictured), and large white plates fill the space of an entire room with a glowing elegance. He calls his collection "Woven in Glass" for the black and white "woven" textures he creates through elaborate threading. In "Zoom," one of his large plates, he demonstrates his intricate glass raking, filling the center of the plate with a frenzy of tiny lines and scribbles. A student of master glass artist Lino Tagliapietra, Mohl uses traditional Venetian technique to surprising and contemporary effect. With his subtle tints and fresh patterns, Mohl exhibits sophisticated control. His pieces don't scream, "Look at me!" like a flamboyant, swirling Chihuly. Instead they entice you to come closer . . . and closer. . . ."
