Artist Introduction
Carrie Burton is a fused glass artist whose work explores the interaction of light, color, and movement. Inspired by the shapes, patterns and geometry of the natural world, her work combines artistic expression with functional design.
While studying art history and studio art at Parsons School of Design in New York, she discovered glass as a fine art medium that uniquely captures both permanence and fragility, light and contrast, form and function.
Burton then learned the trade by training at glass studios including UrbanGlass - Brooklyn, Corning Museum of Glass - New York, Centro Studio Vetro - Venice, and Diablo Glass in Boston. She later worked as an assistant glass artist at Maho Bay Art Studio in St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Burton launching BlueGlass Artwork in 2021.
Inspiration
Glass exists as an amorphous solid, in two states at once. In its solid state, its internal structure is still an extremely slow moving liquid. This structure allows light to pass through without significant scattering. Glass represents in itself the same contrast as so many things on earth - light and dark, order and disorder, beauty and chaos, the particle and the wave. As a medium, glass presents the opportunity to work with light and movement while creating something fixed, solid, and lasting. It appears to capture and hold light in its unique, elemental form.
