ABOUT THE ARTIST: 

Bob is 63 years young and lives in Bangor with his wife, Anne Reigstad.  They are co-owners of Ymir Glass Design, creating dichroic glass jewelry.  They are self-taught and have been working with glass for about six years, starting out by creating stained glass panels as a hobby.

Bob's first interest is to create three-dimensional glass pieces, hence his creation of the glass shoe clock.  He based this idea upon the nursery rhymes "The Old Lady Who Lived in a Shoe" and "Hickory Dickory Dock," with the little mouse on the minute hand of the shoe clock.

ARTIST STATEMENT:  "This clock is made up of many pieces of stained glass.  These were soldered together to form the shoe with a clock on top of the shoe.  There is also a night-light to go inside, to illuminate the shoe at night.  The house is removable to replace either the battery for the clock or to change the night-light bulb.  This shoe clock took about two weeks to develop, from a cardboard model to the finished product."
