You arrive at the strangely shaped building early. The Pierce Botanical Conservatory, a large glass building in the shape of a common cut for emeralds. There were a few other cars in the parking lot and a large moving truck.

Nathan stepped out of his car and snapped a picture of the building, figuring it might be good for the introduction of the article on the glasswork. "Now that is a weird-looking building," he muttered to himself as he began to walk towards the entrance.

As you reach the entrance, you see a small group of people. An Asian woman in her 40s with what must be her teenage daughter and a white man and woman who look to be college aged.

"Good Morning," Nathan said as he joined the group "I take it that you are also here to see the exhibit?" he asked with a slight accent.

"Actually, I'm the collection curator for the conservatory," the older woman said. "This is my daughter and the other two are additional help for Mr. Tissley."

"Ah my apologies. I am Nathan Blanchet, I work for the Art in America magazine. We are going to be doing an article on the exhibit and this rather fine building."

"It is, it was a good bit of press for our town," the woman said. "I'm Hiyumi Ono and this is my daughter, Hana."

"A pleasure to meet you both," Nathan said "Can you tell me anything about what we are going to see? Or about this building? As background for the article."

"You haven't seen Galen's work before? It's quite amazing, impressive creations that seem alien, but have a strange beauty to them," Hiyumi said. "He's also quite interested in ancient glass working techniques and says he's found this strange powder they used in ancient times that gives off black light. I'm not sure how real that is, but I'm excited to see it."

Nathan had taken a small leather bound notepad out and was writing notes as Hiyumi spoke "That does sound fascinating. Will Galen be at the viewing?" Nathan asked.

"He's in there working now," Hiyumi said. "This is just a sneak peak, but he will be there later."

"Ah, that is good to hear. A last question then if you don't mind. To help set the article, Did you reach out to Galen for this exhibit, or did he come to you?" Nathan asked.
