2017 Gather:
​An ISU Alumni Glass Exhibition

​”The exhibition is a survey of the diverse range of artwork from the graduates of the Illinois State University’s Studio Glass program. As the curator of this show, I chose artists who had a profound impact on my creative process while I was at ISU.  The artists are in various stages of their personal and professional lives and each artist has been influential in sharing and exchanging knowledge that keeps ISU glass growing.  The title “Gather” is an homage to John Miller, our instructor, and mentor, where “Gather” refers to the strong bond and community shared between the artists who have graduated from the ISU Studio Glass Program.”

​-Percy Echols II, Artist and Exhibition Curator

2021 LIT: Light in Transmission

A Neon and Plasma Light Exhibition

The exhibition is a survey of the diverse range of Light Art within the shared medium of both neon and plasma sculpture. As an artist, I chose those who had impacted my creative process, and education, and expanded my worldview on the nearly unlimited potential of neon and plasma light as an artistic medium. As a curator, the people I invited present expressions of light, within a variety of shared and differing experiences, skills, and techniques. 

Light In Transmission is a multilayered expression of my excitement in this growing community be it the undying light of neon, or the obscure nature of plasma. Past, Present, or Future, there will be light.

-Percy Echols II, Artist and Exhibition Curator
