Jamie Harris, Infusion Pendant V, USA, 2024

Creator: Jamie Harris
Offered by: Todd Merrill Studio

Description
Jamie Harris’ spellbinding glass sculptures boast a dynamic quality rooted in his ability to capture the alchemy and activity of the glass making process into a static, impenetrable three-dimensional image. Superficially the works present themselves as rich color-field paintings. Challenging the inflexible opacity of painting, the innate ability of glass to transmit, reflect, and absorb light creates an ever-changing abstract picture, one that is in a constant dialogue with the surrounding environment. The Infusion Pendants represent an ever-changing examination of color contrast within a functional sculptural format. This work is as tied to American Modernist painting as it is to the Venetian glassblowing tradition. Harris uses traditional techniques in the studio, layering color into the surface, seeking to deconstruct the vessel and its traditional functionality by carving away at the glass surface.

Harris has studied at some of the most prestigious glass schools in the country: The Pilchuck Glass School, the Rhode Island School of Design, the Penland School of Crafts, the Haystack School and the Corning Museum of Glass. He also studied with some of the most renowned glass artists in the world, including Dante Marioni, Josiah McElheny, Benjamin Moore, Kathy Eliot and Ben Edols.His work has been collected by the Mobile Museum of Art (Mobile, AL), the Museum of American Glass (Millville, NJ), and Glasmuseum Ebeltoft (Ebeltoft, Denmark). He is the recipient of numerous fellowships and awards, including those from the Corning Museum of Glass, Creative Glass Center of America, Brooklyn Arts Council, and the Metropolitan Contemporary Glass Group.
