Thank your for listening to the Taming Lightning Podcast!

I’m always curious about the different avenues that bring people to illuminated works of neon and plasma, and so I appreciate the work that Marta does to bring them to light. With the visual medium of neon and plasma, video is a very strong middle way to an in person experience. It was a pleasure to meet you back in  2019  at the Glass Factory in Boda, Sweden. It’s very impressive how you can navigate the chaos of the workshop and organize them beautifully in audio and video!  Thank Marta for your time on the podcast, and for your support through our passion project In the form of neon.

Please support in the form of neon by watching on Martabeltowska.com and vimeo, she has videos of the following artists including myself: Ben Orozco, Ed Kirshner, Stephanie Lifshutz, and Clif Eddens.
