Joel D'Orisio,
I have been a practicing artist/sculptor since 1988. I received my BFA from The Ohio State University in 1991, and went on
to get my MFA at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred, In New York. After graduating I worked for various artists,
and developed my work until 1998 when I opened my studio and gallery Lost Angel Glass in Corning, NY. My early sculptural
work focused on large-scale installation work, and I received a number of grants from institutions including The Ohio Art
League. I have shown nationally, and internationally my traditional blown glasswork, and intricate cast sculptural glass.
My work focuses on the interaction between humanity and the natural environment, Specifically using natural textures as a
metaphor for natures chaotic beauty. In 2005 I began teaching, and have taught at Alferd university,The Ohio State University,
and now Bowling Green State University. I am looking forward to exploring a new avenue of work, which will include video,
and traditional sculptural elements to create artificial environments, and will explore the conversation between Humanity
and the natural world.
