Therman Statom (Winterhaven, Florida 1953; lives and works in Omaha, Nebraska) Antarctica, 1999 Plate glass, blown and etched glass, mirror, found maps, aluminum, paint, pencil 41 x 33 x 5 inches Knoxville Museum of Art, 2002 purchase with funds provided by KMA Collectors Circle Statom is one of the original artists of the Studio Glass movement, which started when he began working and experimenting at Washington's Pilchuck. Rather than blowing or fusing glass, he works in sheet glass, cutting and assembling it and adding found objects to it. His works are often somewhat narrative with his repeated use of houses, ladders, and chairs providing a rambling storyline. He has also included small paintings in his glass "boxes." Often the works refer to memories or dreams. He is known for his large glass installations, which seem unpredictable and thus exciting. Statom received a B.F.A. from the Rhode Island School of Design, and an M.F.A. from Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, NY. |
