Glass Center Residency ✰ Spring 2025

I’ve been working at the Pittsburgh Glass Center starting in January 2025 to continue work I began in 2022 with the help of the Idea Furnace Residency. This winter I made nine new molds for casting and blowing glass and demolded them in March and April. I’m currently focused am now onto cleaning, finishing and polishing. I’m slowly conceptualizing the glass tumors/growths as they expand from Permissible Dose into new configurations and relationships.
