Joel O'Dorisio's art incorporates both traditional blown glasswork and intricate cast sculptural glass to focus on the interaction between humanity and the natural environment, specifically using natural textures as a metaphor for nature’s chaotic beauty. In addition to glass, his work includes traditional sculptural elements to create artificial environments, which will explore the conversation between humanity and the natural world.
