| "In jurying art in competition I always seek a match of creative originality with technical excellence, and I believe we as a jury have chosen well.
Because I see few contemporary examples in the United States of realistic imagery in the pate de verre technique, I want to give an individual commendation to Ellen Abbott and Marc Leva for their Egg Cup 2. In this exacting process, such fine work reminds us not only of some of the finest historical work, but it also serves to inspire others to venture forward with more new ideas to bring pate de verre further into the mainstream of contemporary glass art." - Lloyd Herman, founding director of the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian in Washington DC, from the 2004 exhibition catalog of the E-merge: WG @ BE juried exhibition.
