AUDREY HANDLER
2010
In addition to my single blown glass forms of fruit, glass platters and vases, I also create sculptural environments that make a comment on universal experiences and emotions usually on domestic themes. My research, ideas and concepts come from my own life experiences. These sculptures are small worlds and landscape portraits with life-sized objects and sometimes tiny silver people. They create a surrealistic time and place. I also make bowls of realistic fruit and vegetables. My recent sculptures combine wood and glass, a series I call "Pear in a Chair" and "Wedding Pair". These are made with the collaboration of my husband John Martner who fabricates the tiny wood chairs and love seats. Our studio is an old renovated cheese factory with posters, photos and lots of space for my creative work. Along with a glass blowing studio on the first floor, there is my husbands wood shop and my painting studio upstairs. " Artist Audrey Handler transforms scenes and objects from daily life into surrealistic theater. " A quote from Bruce Pepich Director, Wustum Museum of fine Arts, Racine, Wisconsin.
