Through a delicate balance of curvaceous lines and simplicity of form, Hatano masterfully showcases her expertise in manipulating pigment, glass particles, and the graceful movement of the air bubbles within. Employing the pâte-de-verre technique, where glass powders are pressed into a mould and finished through a long process of carving and polishing, the result is a smooth surface that invites tactile exploration and exudes a refined vitality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAbout the Artist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTokyo-based glass artist Hiroko Hatano has been working with glass since 2008.
