For the past 15 years, Tyler Rock’s artistic practice has shifted
between conceptual art and glasswork based on the aesthetic
tradition of the vessel. In the late 1990s, his blown glasswork
began to receive critical attention both nationally and
internationally through the development of the “Luminary” and
“Lidded Vessel” series.
The idea of the edge remains relevant in Rock’s new work.
Sculptural in nature and mounted on the wall, his new work carries forward vessel associations while shedding the notion of functionality. These pieces operate on a human scale to engage and create an emotive response from viewers with the use of a broader sculptural vocabulary.
