CHEEKY GLASS CELEBRATIONS AND CURIOUSLY USEFUL PRODUCTS
Gold and platinum etched, thermo-formed, kiln-cast and cold worked. Glass art of composited, flat lapped, sanded, drilled,
beveled and resurfaced finishes. Mica dusted, dichro touched and cubic zirconia embeded glass offerings.
Pricing and availability upon request.
Artist Bio and Statement: I explore the tension between precise line work against a broad open expression of glass color and form. I try to highlight interstitial space within the sandwich of cast layers of glass to create a sense of captured movement. I study opportunities offered in the fluid stage of glass at high heat. It creates for me a sense that the cooled piece becomes a relic of itself. Professional Background: Nina holds a Masters Degree in Architecture from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and a Bachelor of Architecture from University of California Berkeley. She is a licensed Architect with built projects totaling over $30 million. Studios: Our main studio space is in the historic West Berkeley artist district housed in the vibrant collaborative ActivSpace building. Arch Street Studios is a Berkeley based business.
