An Interview with Martin Blank
AN INTUITIVE ARTIST
“I am an intuitive artist. I work on the way forms relate to each other to cut a line in space that flows, turns and carries the eye around the piece. The forms reveal a negative space that is as vital and potent as the actual objects. My sculptural work is as much about the void as the mass”– Martin Blank.
Martin Blank is an acclaimed American sculptor who currently resides in Seattle, WA. He worked on the Dale Chihuly team in the 1990s while bringing his infectious enthusiasm and courageous desire to push the material. He has continued creating his own dynamic and energetic contributions to the studio glass movement through exhibitions and challenging, robust installations throughout the last three decades.
