Artist’s Statement 

Articulating ideas that arise during a dream state is something I truly enjoy. When experimenting with glass I love learning how materials interact. Using techniques that push the boundaries of glass working helps to convey the complexity of dreams.

In the subconscious state people, places and objects ma appear distorted. Sometimes things are magical or unrealistic. The symbolism of dreams is what I retain most upon waking. Hopefully being present with my art will act like a window into the dream world.

Biography

Damon Bennett presents “Dreamscape” in Canal Street Art Gallery’s Second Annual A WORLD SUSPENDED IN COLOR, a blown glass teardrop bud vase form with bubble inclusions, a mirrored composition of landscape colors, and solid clear polished glass encasement.  “Dreamscape” is the realization of over a year’s time spent by the artist in perfecting this particular form and design.
