Growing is a process we all know too well. From plants, to animals, even the limbs of our own bodies. At one stage or another, most things get a little longer and a little wider. Glass, however, is generally not one of these things. The glasses we drink out of, the vases we place flowers in and the windows we look through to see the outside world. In our minds, this glass ismade or manufactured, not grown. Grow by Matthew Day Perez contradicts this idea, revealing the organic and fertile life behind glass.
