GLASSFUN's Profile
Bio
Dora Natella
I am originally from Italy, my cultural roots and background have strongly influenced my art.
My ideas for sculptures come both from historical and contemporary figurative traditions. I call it: the human landscape. It is a landscape I will never get tired of because it's so rich in metaphor and varied in form. It changes so dramatically from person to person. Typically, I begin modeling in clay from direct observation of a live model. I subsequently
make refractory molds that allow me to capture the texture and form, and transform it in kiln-formed glass. I protect the glass from scratching with a coat of clear glaze. I have a world of fun with this process.
