Becker J. Gutsch works with fused glass and found objects, creating intimate pieces that explore the connection between mind and body. She developed her interest in fused glass when she enrolled in an art therapy program after suffering a head injury in 2007. I could not express myself… so frustrating when you have a traumatic brain injury. I began looking at my brain as if I had eyes in the back of my head. I could, and still can, see the parts that work well and the parts that have been damaged. Each piece of art has a red dot which signifies my brain injury and the beginning of a new life. This started unconsciously and set the message of my creations. From this came the name of Becker J. Gutsch’s Red Dot Glass Art.
