Therman Statom is an American Studio Glass artist whose primary medium is sheet glass. Since he appeared at Pilchuck in 1971, he has been known as an innovator. Throughout his career, he has pushed the boundaries of his medium, challenging us to look at glass in new and interesting ways. He cuts, paints and assembles the sheet glass, adding found objects along the way, to create compelling sculptures. His artistic vocabulary includes simple but powerfully charged forms: houses, ladders, chairs. Statom thrives on the creation of daring, often playful, site-specific installations, having produced over a dozen for museums and galleries across the United States since 1980
