Robin Hoerth
"I believe imagination to be the instrument of hope, and I choose to believe it is a catalyst for a better tomorrow."
Robin Hoerth draws inspiration from the future, from the things that are important to her, and the things she wants to remember. She chooses to believe that we have the power to make today better than yesterday, to focus not on adversity, but what we will achieve in the future. Holding on to the part of you who sees a brighter tomorrow, your child-like perception of the world, informs the narrative of the representational compositions of her work.
Hoerth uses a specialized torch to melt solid rods of glass into fantastical shapes. Always held by hand and with minimal tool use, gravity and heat are what she uses to bend the glass into shape. Using a three thousand degree flame, she can twist and turn the glass as she wishes to create the unique creations she is known for. The pieces are made with solid glass and will never tarnish nor fade, keeping their beauty for years to come unchanged by time.
After earning her BFA, she continued her study by apprenticing under master artists for a number of years. She has studied many disciplines in glass art, focusing on flameworked sculpture in her current work. Hoerth moved to Seattle, Washington, to apprentice for four years under a flameworking master to gain her fundamental training in flameworked sculpture. She continues to travel, both teaching and learning at the various glass studios across the country as she continues to develop her skills.
