[/nonmember][private_archives]Zerkowitz’s landscapes are meant to evoke quiet moments in time that pass quickly; that cannot be put into words, only feelings. Scroll down to read how she combines the glass, steel and ink and watch the video below to see more – including a glimpse of the process involved in making blown glass beach balls (see in the last image on this pos)t.

“The steel panels in the Botanical pieces are my canvas; where the landscape begins to take form from a simple line. Each mark traps ink that I apply to the surface of the steel, to provide a marriage of color and form. The glass and bronze elements provide a layering that is akin to the organics of nature. Most importantly, the glass is the light, bringing the viewer to a specific moment in time when light and nature combined are a language of their own.” Lisa Zerkowitz
