Charles G. (C. G.) Watson's creative thesis project comprises: one digital video of thesis film, The Glass Evangelist (TRT 00:37:01); one 16mm roll of film (footage of glass eyes, West Campus, 200 feet on one reel) and one digital video of the 16mm footage (TRT 00:06:03); two cyanotype fabric prints of magnified cornea (made by Sejiro Littleton and gifted to Charles G. Watson) (8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches); and one cyanotype plastic transparency of a magnified cornea (8 1/2 x 7 inches).
From the artist's statement: "The Glass Evangelist is a multimedia essay which examines the duality of glass as both an artistic expression and a scientific matter, as seen through the lens of the Littleton family of Western North Carolina. The Littletons, whose own multigenerational legacy includes the developer of Pyrex and the father of the Studio Glass Movement, have been pioneers and innovators in a number of fields related to the wonder material for over a century."
