Featuring works on the cutting edge of kiln-formed glass, Emerge/Evolve, is the first exhibit at the Pittsburgh Glass Center dedicated solely to this technique.

Kiln-formed glass objects are made with glass that has been tested to be compatible for fusing when heated in a kiln.

The works on display are by 11 artists from around the world and were selected from current and past exhibitors in Emerge 2014, Bullseye Glass Co.'s eighth biennial kiln-glass exhibition for emerging artists. Based in Portland, Ore., Bullseye manufactures clear and colored billets used for glass casting.

The works are ambitious, to say the least.

For example, visitors will be immediately struck by Kate Clements' untitled wall installation, which is an assemblage of more than 40 separate lace-like parts that can be reconfigured to the size and space in which it is installed.

It was the most challenging work in the exhibition to install, says glass-center marketing director Paige Ilkhanipour.

Each panel is composed of fused glass frit, or granules, and is extremely thin and delicate in many areas. While the pieces are quite stable as a whole, the utmost care had to be taken to handle each piece with two hands at all times.

Clements says the Amber Room and the front gate at the Catherine Palace in St. Petersburg, Russia, were the inspiration for the decorative nature of the piece. It takes the architecture of the palace and translates it into a glass wall or barrier as a stand-in for the real thing. These imitations and absences act as a veil of protection that is, ultimately, removed when the viewer discovers that the materials are standing in for something else.

The amber-colored glass can never be the lusciousness of real amber, Clements says, and it can't transcend to being gold, either.

In this way, the piece lures the viewer in but, ultimately, fails to be what it is attempting to be.

In September, Cochise Countys inflation-adjusted accommodation sales were up, while retail and restaurant and bar sales were down, compared to Septemberlastyear.

Countywide retail sales were down 9.4 percent in September, after adjusting for inflation. Retail sales countywide have been down in eight of the past 10 months in the year-over-year comparisons, following growth in seven of eight months. For the first nine months of 2014, retail sales were down 5.3 percent compared to the same periodlastyear.

At the state level, retail sales were up 5.8 percent in September. For the first nine months of the year, statewide retail sales were up 3 percent after theinflationadjustment.

Cochise Countys restaurant and bar sales were down 1.4 percent in September, after adjusting for inflation. For the first nine months of the year, however, sales were up 2 percent. Sales have been up in six of the most recent11months.

Statewide restaurant and bar sales were up 7.8 percent in September and 6.2 percent for the first nine months oftheyear.

Accommodation sales countywide were up 2.7 percent in September compared to September 2013. Accommodation sales include hotel, motel, RV Park, and other temporary lodging stays of less than 30 days. In the first nine months of 2014, countywide accommodation receipts were up0.9percent.

The countywide accommodation industry has struggled in recent years with sales down in 37 of the past 48 months. Those declines were due largely to changes in travel policy for military personnel on temporary duty to Fort Huachuca, requiring many to now be billeted on post, along with federal budget cuts that have slowed temporary duty travel to the fort. Changes in the Armys lodging policies to introduce competitive bidding have also contributed to the declineinrevenue.

Despite the long-run weakening in countywide accommodation receipts, sales have been up in seven of the past 11 months helped along by ongoing construction of the new hospital in Sierra Vista and several other large nonresidential construction projects in other areas the county. Such projects bring in workers from other areas, giving a boost totemporarylodging.

Statewide accommodation receipts were up 6.1 percent in September, after the inflation adjustment, and were up 9.9 percent for the first nine monthsof2014.
