Item Special Note

“I have always been intrigued by the ability of glass to exist in various states of transparency and translucency, permitting it the opportunity for beautiful interplay with the light.  In many of the works I produce, I tend to compose objects through the repetition of form or a systematic buildup of parts into a larger, more complex whole.  I enjoy using simple, natural forms as the canvas for these explorations, as I aim to make objects evocative of natural things without explicitly copying them.”

Following his graduation from The Cleveland Institute of Art in 2002, with a BFA in Glass, Thaddeus Wolfe relocated to New York City and began working with artists Jeff Zimmerman and Josiah McElheny. 

In the past years he has executed glass sculptures for a variety of New York artists, including conceptual landscape designer Paula Hayes, and painter Shimon Okshteyn, with whom he has worked extensively. He collaborated with Okshteyn on a series of sculptures exhibited February 2006 at Stefan Stux Gallery, New York, New York.
