David Patchen
Mixed Murrine Folio

About the Item

Artist David Patchen creates vivid and luminous sculptural glass works using the time-honored glass blowing techniques of cane and murrine. In the artist's words: "I find glass as seductive as it is challenging. As a particularly unforgiving medium, an artist has endless creative opportunities to design for its unique properties - the only limitations are their imagination and skill in working with the material. My current work is an intensive exploration of patterns, colors and transparency created through multi-layered cane and murrine (colored rods and patterned cross-sections of glass). While varied in composition and design, I most often create work within a series of graceful forms that I consider three dimensional canvases. Some themes in my work include windows into or through a piece, things hidden & revealed and extreme detail. Creating my work begins with meticulous planning and designing of colors and patterns. I enjoy this process of thoughtful creativity and the contrasting intensity of executing work in the hotshop, where the limited window to shape molten glass requires precision and urgency. The dual challenge of designing and executing complex work satisfies both the artist and the craftsman in me and I continually find it exciting to create a piece I've poured days over, watching it come to life in the fire." David Patchen studied in the Public Glass studio in San Francisco under Afro Celotto, and his work has been exhibited and collected extensively throughout the world. Patchen’s expertise in these techniques has been collected into a book that is in the permanent collection of the Giorgio Cini Foundation's Centro Studi del Vetro (Glass Study Center) library in Venice, Italy, and the Rakaw Library at the Corning Museum of Glass, among others.
