Corinne Whitlatch
Glass artist Corinne Whitlatch presents glass wall sculptures that reflect her travels in Palestine and the Middle East, and her thoughts on the peace these lands seek. Many of the works contain glass, iron and pottery shards the artist acquired on her travels. Titles such as Beit Jala Besiged, Cyprus Lamenatation, Tunisia’s Memoir and Shiraz Rose indicate the range of her interest. Her series of wall and window pieces reflects images and narratives drawn from her 30 years of employment related to the Middle East. She is inspired by the shards and artifacts gathered on travels across the region - from Morocco to Iran and Turkey. Found objects, ceramics, pressed plants, minerals and mosaics are joined with glass and hammered and pierced brass. Her designs are influenced by the study of Islamic ornamentation and of Middle Eastern cultures, history and political struggles. She will also exhibit a unique installation called The Ultimate Washington Dinner Party (with a nod to Judy Chicago), comprising a series of plates inspired by notables whom she would like to engage in conversation.
