Jenny Pohlman and Sabrina Knowles Art

American

Sabrina Knowles and Jenny Pohlman began their collaboration in 1992. The artists use a variety of materials in their rich assemblages, including hot-sculpted glass, various metal works, found objects and beads, achieving a fine sense of formal balance.

For Knowles (b. 1955) and Pohlman (b. 1960), three notable research field trips had a profound impact on their personal and artistic development: In 1997 they visited Zimbabwe and Botswana; returning to Africa they visited Ghana in 2000; and in 2002 they traveled to Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and East Africa. The pair gathered creative and emotional inspiration from these travels. These experiences are used to create sculptures that embody mythological stories in glass. Part of the narrative of the object is derived from the artists’ own travels and part by ancient cultures and magic of African life as witnessed by the two artists: “We have a point of origin and balance our elements within that framework.“

The work of Knowles and Pohlman is in the collections of the Boca Raton Museum of Art, Flint Art Institute, Henry Ford Museum; Lowe Museum of Art, Miami; Mobile Museum of Art; Museum of American Glass; Museum of Glass; National Liberty Museum; New Bedford Museum of Glass; Racine Art Museum; Tacoma Art Museum; and Imagine Museum among others.

"Golden Nautilus" An Elegant and Intricate Gold Nautilus Shell Glass Sculpture
Located in Morgan Hill, CA
Created by San Jose based glass artist, Treg Silkwood, the "Golden Nautilus" is an intricate sculpture of a seashell created entirely out of glass. Using layers of ochre (Gold) and white pigment, Treg masterfully captures the intricate shell details typically found on a nautilus'. This breathtaking piece measures 13"h x 11"w x 5"d and comes with a custom metal stand affixed with a rubber coating to ensure stability of the sculpture. About the Artist: Treg Silkwood is a glass artist whose career spans over three decades. He is recognized as a premier California Marine Artist and one of the foremost artists working in glass. Taking inspiration from walks along the California coast, Treg’s artwork explores his fascination with the many species of shells and natural objects he’s collected from his excursions. In response to these elegant forms, Treg creates blown glass sculptures that not only enrich his appreciation for the intricate complexities of the natural world but also form a personal connection to a place which he calls home. Treg has a BFA in glass from Alfred University and studied abroad at the Academy of Applied Arts in Prague, where he learned Czech mold-making and coldworking techniques. Post graduation, Treg worked as a glass blower recreating Early American Glassware at Greenfield Village, within The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI. He was an artist-in-residence at The Corning Museum of Glass in New York and part of the original crew that created The Corning Musuem of Glass Roadshow. In 2002, Treg and his wife Candace, established Silkwood Glass, a custom glass company specializing in marine life sculpture...

"Blue Abstraction" Blown-glass, Steel, Abstract, Sculpture
Located in Detroit, MI
SALE ONE WEEK ONLY "Blue Abstraction" is a blown-glass creation encased in steel. The captured organic lift of its shape belies the weight of its structure.

Albert Young has been operating an independent glass studio/school since 1983 and has been a pivotal member of the Detroit areas glass community. He received his BFA in ceramics from The Center For Creative in Studies in 1982 and his MFA in sculpture from Wayne State University in 1988 as well as studies in Taiwan, Murano, Italy and Canada. Albert currently owns and operates Michigan Hot Glass Workshop, Michigan’s oldest independent glass blowing school. He is also on the faculty at The College for Creative Studies where he teaches all levels of glass blowing and creative thinking. He is best known for his sculpture using innovative casting techniques and the combination of steel and glass. The College for Creative Studies (formerly Center for Creative Studies) faculty and graduates include Richard Jerzy, Harry Bertoia, Doug Chaing (currently director of Lucas Film), Stephen Dinehart (game maker, writer, designer connected with The David Lynch Foundation), Tyree Guyton (international artist), Herb Babcock, Jerome Feretti, Kevin Siembieda (writer, designer and publisher of role-playing games), Renee Radell, Philip Pearlstein, Charles McGee (nationally recognized African American sculptor of animal and dancing spirits), Philip Pearlstein (2000 Honorary Doctorate, Modern Realism style), John Louis Krieger (American Modern), William Girard (American Modern), Charles Culver...
