Josh Opdenaker, also known as "Colonel Sanders" within the glass community for his chicken-themed
work, views his work as "the never ending struggle for perfection in theory and in execution. The art is
not in the finished piece; the art is in the physical movement of creating the work." His cutting-edge
techniques & concepts in glass sculpting leave much contemplation and introspection for the viewer.
Josh's work ranges from the absurd to the edgy and aggressive, and never gets stale by constantly
changing his subject matter as well as delivery. With such a range of style his work is impossible to
generalize or classify, leaving it much in a class of its own. Josh states, "If nothing else, view my work
as original. Technique and craft can be learned, originality cannot. You either have it, or you do not."
He recently made the move from Philadelhia to San Diego, and we couldn't be happier to have him
here on the West Coast now. We are proud to display some of Josh's work here at SHINOBI GLASS!
