Brothers Oscar Tuazon and Eli Hansen both participated in the residency program at Pilchuck, and their collaboration builds upon both of their backgrounds: Hansen’s more formal training in glass, and Tuazon’s in sculpture and installation. They are fascinated with countercultural societies and do-it-yourself lifestyles, but are also steeped in the traditions of studio glass in the Pacific Northwest. As such, the bevel-cut crystal forms featured here refer to hippie-era geodesic domes and the mathematical systems by architect Buckminster Fuller that guided them, as well as bourgeois candy dishes and drug paraphernalia.
Seattle Art Museum respectfully acknowledges that we are on Indigenous land, the traditional territories of the Coast Salish people. We honor our ongoing connection to these communities past, present, and future.
