Sure, I think we know
That it kinda has to end
There’s a role that shows
How you can play pretend
I keep trying
Yeah…
Look, they cannot see
Beyond their own point of view
There’s no guarantee
That we’ll ever know what’s true
I dream in black and white
But every day is gray
You judge me wrong or right
But our sins are shades of gray
Well, it’s come to this
Standing by ourselves in pain
There’s the shock of death
And we wonder who to blame
I keep trying
Yeah…
I dream in black and white
But every day is gray
You judge me wrong or right
But our sins are shades of gray

Gloria passed suddenly but peacefully on my father’s birthday, January 24 in Vineyard Haven at age 95 years and 11 months. My sister has been staying with her for about six months and reported that Gloria had been living her normal, busy, and social life — going to exercise class, singing in the chorus, she had even just renewed her drivers license. On the day Gloria passed, she did some yard work, felt tired, went up to her bedroom and lay down for a nap.
She lived a wonderfully full life of joy and service to others. There is sadness, but no sorrow. There is no death, only a change of worlds.

The “Semi-Intentional” glass exhibition has ended. I am happy to report that it was very successful, in fact, the best selling show of the year! Of course 2024 is only 30 days old, but the first show was also very popular so if Such As, Gallery can keep this going, it might be a good year!

SEMI-INTENTIONAL
Post-COVID Blown Glass by Malcolm Wong
“Semi-Intentional” is the name and philosophy of this exhibition. Blowing glass starts with a blob the size of a golf ball, the consistency of honey. Gathering enlarges this blob like rolling a snowball. I am not a machine. Each time I make a piece of glass, there is a good chance that the result will surprise, hopefully delight, and sometimes — disappoint me. Success or failure, I enjoy the process, regardless — there’s always something to learn. Like life, we may have a goal, an expectation, perhaps even a number in mind that we want to attain. Sometimes you have to settle for what you get, sometimes you will get something beyond your wildest expectations.
Malcolm Wong started blowing glass in 1977 in Hawaii under the tutelage of Steve Correia, a pioneering glassblower in the style of Neo-Art Nouveau. Stemware by Correia Art Glass was chosen by Rosalyn Carter for the White House. Mrs. Carter, President Carter’s wife passed away at the age 96 on November 19, 2023. It’s been a long, strange but wonderful triip.
Malcolm’s other creative endeavors include writing and producing a graphic novel, DOG EATERS and dabbling in music. He has also won screenplay contests with two other scripts.
