In 2015, Woolard invited Lee and Rosenberg to join her in an application to work together for the Hauberg Fellowship at Pilchuck Glass School. Woolard wrote that she “approached Helen Lee, who ‘uses glass to think about language’ and Alexander Rosenberg, who concerns himself with systems of display and all things on the edge of breaking, about a collaboration at Pilchuck.” When the group received the Fellowship, a three-year research project began that included multiple self-organized residencies and research trips. The resulting work was individually authored in relationship to shared research about the @ symbol, an approach to collaboration that enables deep engagement with shared topics alongside individual expression.
