From one of our current exhibitions, Kari Russell-Pool Self-Portraits in Glass. Artist Kari Russell-Pool bends, molds, and fuses delicate rods of glass into extremely intricate sculptures. This exhibition highlights her introspective practice of mining both historic forms and daily life to explore the modern world in her art. Alongside a selection of 20 works resembling Greek amphoras, Victorian teapots, needlework samplers, birdcages, and sailor’s valentines, this exhibition debuts one of her first large-scale installations. Using high heats and temperamental rods of glass, her virtuosic technique gives her pieces a delicate, tactile quality as she grapples with personal ideas.Her work interweaves historic forms and everyday objects with complex ideas to represent the different facets of her life as an artist, mother, thinker, wife, and daughter.
