- Bill Meek comments on his special form of glass art: "I'm a carpenter and glass artist. My tools are those of a carpenter: chisels, hammers, glue and more." In Meek's work, each broken glass piece forms in a puzzle of many other glass pieces placed together to create gorgeous work. This digital documentary reveals the character. the feelings and philosophical drive that informs Meek's creative work.

I agree Meeks. It took me from learning at University, about Unity, Form, Design aspects that I thought I understood but it was years of contemplating my Artforms, before I truely understood the Unity between Chaos and Stress, or Tensions between the elements of the design. To truely admire and not feel as though it wasn’t quite finished but just the way if not better than what we first believe of the potential. I love Art. Your Art is truely admirable and scintillating to the senses and mind.
Ms. Duthie, you are wise...it takes time and effort and commitment to aesthetics and the joy of creation. But every time you engage in creating something, you face failure and ridicule as well...so in the deeper part of creative activity, it's not about approval of others, but attention to your own growth and path to your own aesthetic vision and capacity to learn. When Herman Melville wrote Moby Dick, he was emotionally and physically exhausted and it took a quite a long time for him to recover. Only a few hundred books were sold in America though. By the 19th century, Moby Dick was recognized to be a masterpiece in America, and in Europe, it was considered the greatest novel America has ever produced. There is a lesson in that. The creative effort is of necessity an absurd and lonely toil. Creativity is born from the inside, not in others. Of necessity, the creative struggle between being in solidarity with people who view and buy your art, and the incredibly solitary emotional and intellectual battle within to let lose the creative impulses and the self critical control to produce an excellence that can only occur within oneself. Solidarity and solitary is the inescapable battle that becomes human art, in all phases of human life. And the capacity to engage in the absurd struggle of creativity is certainly not evenly dispersed across human beings.
I’m learning to cut china plates - my gosh I would love to learn to cut glass like this and play around
Thanks for sharing
love the tunes
Dylan Meek's music is good...but other music was licensed from NeoSounds

los adoro..
I'm not sure what glue he uses. You might want to look his website up and contact him with your question. I'm sure he would be glad to answer.
We are doing a project with glass and wondering what type of adhesive this is? We build Himalayan Salt walls and are not glass people....
Aren't you afraid of inhaling all that glass dust????? No sense in creating things that are so beautiful if you're not going to be around for long. Food for thought. Other than that - beautiful, beautiful pieces!
I want to meet this man.
ya i want to know what glue he uses to
I am a bit shocked he doesn't wear a mask when sanding.
Yes, I was thinking the same, but without wanting to appear negative. However, the work and the video is truly beautiful!
What type of glass?
What do you use to weld or hold the glass together? Glass glue? Asking for my own current project.
He uses a clear engineering adhesive, according to Bill. Good luck with your project and send pictures.
Bill says it’s an engineering glue.
it seems he is also using a light to cure the glue!
Fantastic! What glue does he use ?
UV-Glue
show the fucking tower thingy at the beginning (his first inspiration)
do another video of this but this time-
and then him talking over the loud ass power tool
health and safety concerns .......what about protecting your lungs..... minute glass shards being inhaled while you sand away the glass peices. Be mindful of this. Keep well and take care. Use exhaust ventilation.
You are correct about that and I asked Mr. Meek about protection. He agrees with you. Most of the time during the filming of the second video concerning the Lexus Project, Mr. Meek wore a sophisticated protective face mask.
I love this process. Is this tempered glass?
No, it is made from regular glass plates with cutting tools and a hammer. He also has filters that makes each individual glass piece uniquely reflective. It's both a planned design and it is spontaneous creation of the moment. So each art piece is unique, like nature's snowflakes or the human fingerprint. His art is the essential human endeavor.
+David Whitley I agree. Outstanding work. Where does one find such thick pieces of glass?
Diana, I may have inadvertently failed to send you a reply. In that case, here is what I meant to send.
You may ask Mr. Meek questions at the following email address: meekstudio@gmail.com.
By the way, both of the Meek videos I've posted on UA-cam won film festival awards. Meek's Broken Glass was a featured showing at the Houston International Film Festival, one of the oldest and largest film festivals in the United States...so he has a following and likes to hear from people interested in his work. He's not shy. Feel free to write him if you wish.
Is this guy still alive after breathing all the glass fines he generates?
Que cola é usada
Shouldn't you wear protective eye wear that wraps around your entire eye?
or lung protection while grinding
Lolol nope
How it's sand
Beautiful work but I’d have enjoyed it more without the music competing with the speech!
