Taygan Crapo Appleton
Taygan Crapo is a glass artist from Alberta who twirls molten glass like toffee. Glass as a material is extremely versatile and carries with it a mystery that allures the viewer as well as the maker.
Conceptually my work is centered on phenomenology. As a child I would run my fingers over precious objects exploring the textures and surfaces. Inquisitive by nature, I hoped that tracing these alluring objects would help to reveal their mysteries. As I pass my fingertips over the surface I linger in the ephemeral moment of a connection between myself and the object.
