(Clockwise from upper left) Pangaea; Life Particles; Super-Nova Mama; Light at the End of the Tunnel; and Tunnel. Fred Mead, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

By Gina Malone<\/p>\n

Glass artist Fred Mead exemplifies the artist on whom, as writer Henry James put it, \u201cnothing is lost.\u201d Mead grew up in Michigan with parents who worked at General Motors. \u201cMy father was an industrial designer and my crafty mother worked in the blueprint department,\u201d says Mead. Many of the clothes, furniture and household goods in their home were made or made over. \u201cThere was no such thing as woman\u2019s work or man\u2019s work in our house,\u201d he says. \u201cEverybody did everything. It was a kind of mini-farm before we called them that. I would say\u2014contrary to what many teens exclaim, \u2018When will I ever use this useless information?\u2019\u2014that I ended up using everything I ever learned later in life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fred Mead, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

Creativity was everywhere around him, Mead recalls. His parents would bring home leftover blueprint paper for him to draw on. \u201cI marveled at all of the sharply pointed pencils and the rulers on my father\u2019s drawing table and wanted to draw things like him,\u201d he says. At 12, his father taught him to build model airplanes. \u201cI guess I have always been interested in so many things in life and in making things,\u201d says Mead. \u201cI spent hours frolicking through the woods, building treehouses, fishing, rock hunting and investigating the frozen creeks and ponds.\u201d<\/p>\n

When he was 18, Mead discovered meditation. \u201cI find that in meditation I can overcome anxiety and let my mind relax and create,\u201d he says. \u201cI believe that one\u2019s mind is a key connection to the Universe. Meditation has helped me to imagine and sometimes plan glass sculptures.\u201d<\/p>\n

He was working in commercial art and maintaining an art studio on the side when his father passed away. \u201cI became disillusioned with just doing commercial art for my 9 to 5 and quit my job and, after a combination of situations, ended up, as they say, losing everything,\u201d Mead says. \u201cAfter a bunch of soul searching and jobs during a year, I started to work in a halfway house and something really clicked for me there and I felt the work was important and meaningful,\u201d he says. His college degree helped him obtain a position working with troubled children in a special school. \u201cI went on to work in a detox unit and a partial hospitalization unit and gained further training and experience. I eventually became the acting program coordinator at a place that helps persons with mental illness called Adventure House in Shelby. Ironically, they use work as a rehabilitation tool in their program, so I was right at home.\u201d During that time, he lost his wife of 24 years, who had always been supportive of his art.<\/p>\n

Ten years later, he remarried, retired after 30 years with Adventure House and took classes at Penland School of Craft and Corning Museum of Glass.<\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout all those years, I made a lot of glass works,\u201d Mead says. \u201cMy dad always said, \u2018Shoot for the stars\u2019 in your life. After his passing, I started literally making stars out of glass. I was so poor at first that all of my glass came from hardware stores\u2019 throwaway window cutoffs and from frame shops. I was recycling out of need for material and doing stacked-glass sculptures and home accessories.\u201d He says that he eventually overcame a shy reluctance to approach gallery owners and, consequently, had his work accepted by about 20 galleries. He established Meadart, his enterprise making functional pieces including cake plates, candelabras, coasters and even glass tables.<\/p>\n

He also completes about ten sculptures a year, with some of them having been a couple of years in the making. \u201cMy sculptures mostly use a technique I modified from a Corning studio class with Sidney Hutter,\u201d he says. \u201cThe glass is hot fused, ground and constructed with colored adhesives mixing; it is like painting with glass.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mead says that he contemplates a lot of things that people generally don\u2019t think about, including time and outer space. \u201cI think about how everything is miraculously put together after being compressed into an area smaller than the head of a pin and then exploded with a Big Bang to collect into the life that we have now in the universe,\u201d he says. A collaborative work with Zack Smith Johnson, Home, is a 26\u2019 tall glass and steel piece that depicts Earth as an astronaut might view it from space. It will be located in the WNC Sculpture Center in Lenoir.<\/p>\n
