Susan Bloch

sculptor specializing on glass and mixed-media

Then & Now

8/6/2017

I drove to the City of Brea Gallery for the 4th annual Clay and Glass Biennial.

I brought panels of star-fire glass, sand-carved, engraved; held in custom walnut stands.  The faces appear sculptural due to the depth of the carving. Wing-like and plant-like structures surround the faces. They represent receptors, serving to send and receive signals. They give form to sensory abilities.

My focus is changing from the object to the atmosphere surrounding the object, in this case the face. As the face or image grows smaller, the surrounding atmosphere is becoming larger. 

My work supports acts of personal heroism, challenges and and rites of passage. It recognizes logic and choice while pondering consciousness and beyond. It looks at the human being in nature, time and eventual culmination.

The work reflects on letting go, impermanence and transformation.

    Art, Glass & Life

    Hi, I'm a sculptor working primarily in glass. I look at life metaphorically. This makes glass ideal to express my ideas. This is where I'll share the nexus of art & life. I'm grateful to be part of a big community of glass lovers. I hope you're one of them. If not, I'd like to share my enthusiasm
