2019 Visiting Artist Series
In 2019, we welcomed Mel Douglas and Nancy Callan, and Hiroshi Yamano to Norfolk.
Hiroshi Yamano
November 8–10
The Perry Glass Studio team was excited to welcome world-renowned glass artist Hiroshi Yamano to Norfolk. A native of Fukuoka, Japan, Yamano is one of the most well-known and revered glass artists in the world melding a fusion of American, European, and Japanese glass techniques in his work.
Hiroshi Yamano uses a process adopted from ancient Japanese metal craft to achieve a rich and complex surface that suggests painted Japanese screens. Fish are a recurring image in the artist’s work. They are his elusive alter ego, which symbolizes his experiences as a traveler back and forth across cultures. “I am a fish that cannot stop swimming. Maybe I will swim forever like the universe does.”
Mel Douglas and Nancy Callan
March 8–10
Mel Douglas and Nancy Callan brought their collaborative artistic process to the Glass Studio in March 2019. Both Douglas and Callan have works in the Chrysler’s collection, Douglas’s stunning Threefold, Twofold, and Periphery and Callan’s Aquaman Stinger.
