David Goode has always been intrigued by small sculptures and, as a life-long railroad man, it is
unsurprising that rare, imaginative railroad-themed interpretations in glass capture his attention.
Such was the case with works by the young Norfolk-area artist Emily Bartelt Juel, who creates
small railroad boxcar sculptures in cast glass. The panels are assembled by traditional stained
glass techniques and, fitted with working glass wheels, receive original graffiti designs created in
collaboration with well-known graffiti artists.
By now, several of Bartelt Juel’s remarkable works have been acquired for the collection. Their
choice reveals the bedrock of the Goode collection: thoughtful, creative, and culturally diverse
expressions in glass that capture the magic of the medium.
