ANGUS M.
POWERS |
ANGUS M. POWERS (American, b. 1978) works with blown and cast glass sculpture as well as creating installations and performative realities. His work pushes the viewer to consider multiple interpretations, challenging set notions of logic, scale, and perception. Powers is currently Associate Professor of Glass and Sculpture Department Chair / Area Head Glass in the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. Exhibit A first featured Angus Powers’ work in the gallery’s 2015 Glass Invitational.
