Chris Nordin
Working with glass taps into the emotions of the ever-changing liquid. The experience is alternately like riding a roller coaster and existing in a state of pure, calm and solitude. My work thrives in two worlds, as well; urban industrial grittiness and the fundamental elements of the natural world. |
