169 Városi shapes and tames the fire, but realizes he can only partially succeed. Liquid glass has a will of its own. It gives in to the creative will, but it also asks to participate. It becomes distorted, brittle and unpredictable when left to its own devices. Városi allows it to unfold, because he respects the will of the material. He lets it cause unplanned surprises. Slowly solidifying glass improvises, and the outcome is only partially predictable. But the artist uses this aspect consciously. He sees the primordial nature of matter as a co-creator. They are honest with each other, and it shows. This is what makes substance out of form, the way the power of creation looks at us from small-scale works as well as from vertical constructions that tower above us like rock-solid totem poles.
