Michael Rogers/Jack Wax brings together the work of Michael Rogers and Jack Wax. Rogers and Wax have a long history of working and exchanging ideas with one another. Both artists are well known for their unique, though somewhat divergent, use of glass in their creative practice. Their mutual interests in philosophy and literature have also connected the two and serves to introduce their work at RoCo.
