Item Special Note

Christopher Duffy was born in California in 1980, but was raised in Glen Ellyn, IL.  Growing up he found many outlets for his creative energy as well as much encouragement from his parents and others around him.  After high school, he attended the Cleveland Institute of Art, OH.  There he found himself among a group of friends who over the years would support, challenge, and expose him to vast new worlds of ideas and culture.  It was also there that Duffy first tried his hand at glass blowing.  He found it simultaneously natural and challenging; he was also immediately impressed with its versatility as an artistic medium and decided to make it his focus.  In 2003, he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts.  Having developed a strong connection to Cleveland he remained there for three years, working alongside artists Brent Young and Mark Sudduth at Benchmark studio. 

In 2006, he relocated to Brooklyn, NY where he still resides and maintains his studio.  He has worked with and fabricated glass objects for artists Josiah McEllheny, Michiko Sakano, Jeff Zimmerman, Lindsey Adelman and Jorge Pardo, among others. He also works with musician Girl Talk, fabricating and operating onstage visual elements and props.  He was the assistant art director on the short lived cult classic Independent Film Channel series Foodparty, created by Thu Tran.  Duffy continues to make glass and mixed media artworks and has exhibited throughout the United States.
