Jeremy Newman-Allison-Ciancibelli • Profile
The glassworks created by Jeremy Newman and Allison Ciancibelli exemplify their glass blowing skills. Color compositions are inspired by the landscape around them, and patterns within each piece coincide with patterns found in nature.
The inherent qualities of the colored glass influence the design, while the end result of each glass piece is a work that is representational of beauty in the natural world.
Jeremy Newman & Allison Ciancibelli • Statement
Our work is influenced by the random patterns that lace together the natural world and our inherent connection as humans to that natural world. We look to capture the elemental processes that create our planet and environment, and in turn shape our reality. It is the cycles within nature that influence our work most. These cycles are part of our lived in many forms including growth, death and rebirth, building up and weathering down, the seasons, and migrations. They all mark the passage of time and we are contantly exploring how we as humans exist with them and respond to them.
We intend for our work to have a meditative and healing presence. We hope that it helps reconnect people with the rhythms of the natural world and reminds them of their place within that world. Our work is meant to act as a conduit to bring about an awareness of the need for a shift in our current paradigm, to aid in encouraging that honor and protect our Earth and all life that depends on the health of the Earth.
