Alex Brand - Artist Statement:

For me, happiness comes from living a creative life, whether I'm making art or making breakfast. I've always felt the need to do things differently than they've been done before. As a result, a lot of my work begins with trying new techniques, either completely new or at least new to me. I'd rather figure something out for myself than research it. This leaves more doors open; more possibilities; more excitement in the unknown. Often a new idea will yield something very different from what I had envisioned, but be just as interesting. I'll start with an idea but let the glass have a say in what it wants to be also. I try to stay out of my own way and not take the process too seriously; have fun with it.

I enjoy working with other craft media and I am also a poet and singer/songwriter. I want to touch people on an emotional level through what ever I create, uplifting their hearts or inviting them to look into darker areas of my/their experience. A quote by Leonard Cohen sums it up for me: "Poetry is the evidence of life. If your life is burning properly, poetry is just the ash."

My work involves various ways to combine layers of color and the incalmo technique, which is the hot joining of two or more separate blown parts. I've experimented with many variations of this technique and in my latest work I cut the top parts of the vessels into squares before they are reassembled hot. The pieces are then blown further, distorted slightly, and other details are applied.

If you like the work on this page, we think you'll also enjoy these artists…
