Schmidt & Rhea "The Dance" Figural Sculpture The Artists: Michael Schmidt & Sonia Rhea This is a true "merger of minds" piece. Michael and Sonia met at San Francisco State University—he was studying philosophy and glass, and she was studying psychology and ceramics. • The Design Philosophy: Their work often explores the "interconnectedness" of people. This sculpture uses a single flowing ribbon of color to represent two separate souls moving as one. • The Process: Known for their "cased glass" technique, they suspend vibrant colors inside heavy, optical-grade clear glass, ensuring the "dancers" look different from every angle. • Studio Evolution: After establishing themselves in the California Sierra Nevada foothills, they eventually moved their practice to the Southwest. Their work is a staple in high-end galleries from Sedona to Scottsdale.
