Congratulations to Christopher Hofmann, Contemporary Craft’s 2019/20 LEAP Award winner!
Christopher Hofmann sees a historically embedded mystery and the zen-like state that glass evokes and demands; he also sees a near alchemical process that can transmute the mundane into the exceptional with electroforming. By combining glass and electroforming, hofmann’s work pursues a synergy that existed as long as the materials have been manipulated. He seeks to craft an amalgamation of lineage, materials, and form that can hold true to traditions, as well as becoming universal through deep study and exploration.
Hofmann’s work is plan to debut on the grand opening of Contemporary Craft’s new home in Upper Lawrenceville in March 2020 and through March 2021!
