Jen Blazina

In Transience, vintage purses were found in thrift stores and cast in glass. A woman's purse has always been a very personal and private object. To cast it in glass, therefore making it appear translucent, gives the piece a very voyeuristic sense.

Jen Blazina is a sculptor and printmaker who uses glass as her primary medium. She is a working artist and a professor at Drexel University. Blazina's work is in collections such as the Neuberger Museum of Art, The Imagine Museum, The Cranbrook Museum of Art, and the Corning Museum of Glass. She has been awarded multiple residencies: the Corning Artist in Residency, Corning Museum of Glass; GAPP Residency at Toledo Museum of Art; Bezalel Art and Design Academy in Jerusalem, Israel; and CGCA. Awards include: Bessie and Louis Stein Fellowship; Independence Foundation; and the National Endowment for the Arts.
