Featuring: SOlo Show by kelsey finnie
Kelsey Finnie won Best In Show for the 30th Annual Juried Exhibition, so she will have a solo exhibition alongside ours.
Going through personal family struggles that have confronted loss and loneliness; I‘ve endeavored to make life and glass a wonderful and unforgettable adventure. Along this journey, my life being in a constant state of motion has had little stability like that of this molten material.
Glass lives a life in flux between fluidity and form. My work explores these dichotomies and pushes to put glass at the brink of make or break moments. I make installations that confront this balance between order and chaos and attempt to give structure to this amorphous material. My process is experimental, momentary and outcome not always known. |
