jeina morosoff: blown and sandblasted glass forms

I look at hundreds of images of art on the internet every day as I search for artists to share with you.  When I find an image that speaks to me – powerful, beautiful, an interesting glimpse of the artist’s talent and skill – I begin my research. If the artist does not have a website or an online presence usually I move on to the next artist – often sorely disappointed.

Submerged Hybrid Series, blown glass, carved with sandblaster, metal pigment

My research uncovered no website, little information and only a few images (none current) of Jeina Morosoff’s blown and sandblasted glass and iron sculptures, but the art is compelling so I decided to feature the work and ask if anyone knows of Morosoff and where we can see more of these sculptures? {click on the images to visit Numen Gallery and Hot Studio Glass}

“The sculptures speak of the natural world, while not referencing any one thing in particular. I want the works to look like they could possibly exist (somewhere). People have described my work as looking like sea creatures, amoebic, or alien. When looking at my works, people also often question what it is they are seeing. Is it metal or glass? Is real or imagined? I find this sense of mystery very satisfying.”  Jeina Morosoff

Next week I will share another artist who I have been watching for more than a year – she doesn’t have a website either but I might have a tip that can help. Then I will head to Synergy2 and post from Baltimore. If you are looking for more art related links be sure to join the Daily Art Muse Facebook fan page where I post additional links most days. Enjoy your weekend!
