Visit our current exhibition A Walk in the Woods 🌲 Tuesday - Sunday, 11:30 - 7:30 647 Fulton St, Brooklyn Artist Statement of Sarah Vaughn I create sculptures and installations that pause to consider pivotal moments and visualize the precarious balance we maintain throughout life.  Primarily using cast and cold-formed processes, I exploit the preconceived perception of glass as a material to help articulate the topics being explored, asking the viewer to question the material being used and how it changes their notion of what they see.  My work focuses on responses to experiences throughout life. I consider each piece an abstracted self-portrait, capturing thoughts, anxieties, memories, and hopes. Recurring themes like “precarious balance” and “contemplative moments” speak to the desire to find harmony and a sense of order while acknowledging that I am tiptoeing on the edge of chaos.  🔗Link in bio or visit urbanglass.org

Visit our current exhibition A Walk in the Woods 🌲 Tuesday - Sunday, 11:30 - 7:30 647 Fulton St, Brooklyn Artist Statement of Tomoko Abe I am interested in exploring art forms that allow me to spontaneously collaborate with the materials I work with. Rather than forcing them to fit my intention, I enjoy the interactive process with the media. The materials speak to me and make me respond to them. Each medium has a unique character, and often demands a specific artistic process or combination with other materials. The message in my work is rarely my idea alone – rather I wish to co-exist in harmony with nature, by listening to the voices of the materials. 🔗Link in bio or visit urbanglass.org
