Materials: Blown Glass

Dimensions: 7" x 4.5" x 4"

Description of the Piece: Adrien Segal created this new series of site specific collaborative artworks with Pittsburgh artists Daniel Brockett and Julian Maturino in response to climate issues affecting the Allegheny River. Using the texture of the woven willow to form the glass work acts as a way to work with locally sourced materials and consider how materials translate and imprint as they are skillfully worked by hand.

Artist Bio: Adrien Segal is an artist based in Oakland, California. Drawing from landscape, science, history, emotion, and perception, her interdisciplinary work bridges the gap between scientific rationality and the emotional nature of human experience. Dan Brockett weaves baskets using willow grown on his farm, Foggy Blossom, in Leechburg, PA. As both cultivator and craftsman he has a unique relationship with his material. Julian Maturino first started blowing glass at California State University-Fullerton in 2005, where he was taught in the traditional venetian fashion by Joe Cariati. He currently works at the Pittsburgh Glass Center and is collaborating with his partner, Leah Lynn, to developing a product line in glass.
