Nancy Callan

Combining extraordinary technical expertise with innovative design and a contagious sense of fun, Nancy Callan's whimsical, large-scale blown glass sculptures are inspired by the forms, colors and patterns of nature.

Callan simultaneously celebrates the flamboyance of the unusual creates that inspire her work and flaunts their ambiguity. Many of the sculptures in this series have caterpillar-like articulations and rounded, inflated bodies. Their organic shapes are adorned with glass cane patterns designed to amplify and draw attention to the forms. Like fabrics by Pucci or Marimekko, the colorful and graphic patterns in Callan’s work present a stylized, playful vision of nature.
