Amber Cowan | Alchemy of Adornment
April 1 to December 31, 2023
in the Museum of American Glass

Step into the enchanting worlds of Philadelphia-based artist and educator Amber Cowan! Cowan uses centuries-old flameworking, hot sculpting, and glassblowing techniques to transform pressed glass into exuberantly adorned diorama-like wall installations and free-standing sculptures. Her dense narrative assemblages are often personal and lure the viewer into fantasy worlds rich with symbolism and themes of transformation, femininity, and nostalgia.
