About The Artist
Chris Alexander • Houston, TX
Glass • CUSTOM COMMISSIONS
I am a glass artist originally trained in architecture at the University of Virginia and Georgia Tech. I began my glass practice thirty years ago working in stained glass. Within the past ten years, I have also been fusing glass. Recently, I have been expanding my practice by creating metal and glass sculptural works. The creation of glasswork holds an interesting space on the creative spectrum. It is an alchemical medium. I believe it is simultaneously craft, architecture and fine art, all of which I love.

Q&A with the ArtistTell us how your work is made.I work with glass in a number of ways; stained glass involves hand cutting, fitting and soldering the work together. Kiln-formed glass requires planning, assembling and understanding how heat and glass react in the kiln. My three-dimensional work is often a combination of the two, and involves explorations in new ways to connect glass and metal. |
