Dream Journeys by Dorothy Hafner

Dream Journeys New Works in Glass by Dorothy Hafner 2012 - 2015

About the Series â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 2012, I began the first of my landscape series, after many years as an ardent abstractionist. This shift in focus has opened many floodgates in my imagination and stimulated me in new ways that I could not have foreseen. Since that pivotal year, I have been flooded with reveries of the many breathtaking sites and overlooks I have embraced in my travels. The new works I have created reflect my ardent desire to depict the beauty and grandeur of the sites I have been privileged to behold. I recall them, in my dreams, and celebrate them in my minds eye. I create my images in multi-layered glasses because it offers me a brilliance of color and responsiveness to light that I enjoy. In many ways my method of glass working is extremely tedious. For me however, the process is very Zen-like, a meditation on my memories and my homage to the earth in all its glory."

ABOUT DOROTHY HAFNER Dorothy Hafner, artist, designer, innovator, is celebrated internationally for her spirited works in glass, ceramics and textiles over the last 35 years. In the 1980s she created avant-garde tablewares for both Tiffany & Co. and Rosenthal Studio-Line that garnered both critical praise and commercial success. Today these designs are widely collected and often sited as icons of their time. In the 1990s Hafner gifted herself an artistic sabbatical, returning to her studio full time and soon began a “love affair with glass”, now her primary medium. Her poly-chrome, exotically shaped vessels won instant acclaim. She then developed innovative techniques for fused glass, applying them to her widely collected art glass panels and sculpture. In 2012 Hafner created the feature installation for The Lisa Barth Interfaith Chapel at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. Others include Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Boston and Frisbie Memorial Hospital, NH. Over 20 Museum Collections worldwide include Hafner works, many in multiple media, including the Corning Museum of Glass, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Museum of Arts and Design, the Denver Art Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and the Stedelijk Museum. Artworks by Hafner are featured in over 60 hard cover books on Fine Art, Craft and Design. A Manhattan resident for over 30 years, Hafner now works in her newly expanded studio in Norwalk, CT. The new location is also home to the Hafner Creative Space where she teaches classes in art, creativity and design using glass as a primary medium. She has taught at Parsons School of Design, Urban Glass & Anderson Ranch.
