Of History and Hope
NANCY GUTKIN O’NEIL (b. 1949)

“If we can truly remember, they will not forget.”

Miller Williams, “Of History and Hope”
from Some Jazz A While: Collected Poems

Tempered and laminated float glass with fired-in pigments. Fabrication by Glasmalerei Peters, Paderborn, DE. Completed January, 2020.

Six panels. Each Transom, 30½” h x 52¼” w. Each Sidelight, 104½” h x 29” w.

Each large panel, 138” h x 51” w. The glass is ½” thick.

Purchased 2020 with funds provided by Florida’s Art in State Buildings Program
(F.S. 255.043)

I titled my artwork with the last line of the Miller Williams poem, “Of History and Hope”. That’s what this piece is about.

I grew up in Brooklyn, NY and graduated from Sarah Lawrence College. I lived in rural Maine for many years, and now live in New Orleans. I’ve been a glass artist for almost 40 years, and produce work in my own studio and with fabricators. My public art projects are in many parts of the country.
