In the quaint town of Bloomington-Normal, Illinois, Carmen Lozar is redefining the boundaries of glassblowing with her surrealistic sculptures. Her creations are not mere objects; they are stories crystallized in glass, celebrating the essence of life’s good moments.
Lozar’s work is a dance of the tangible with the fantastical, where each piece is a narrative spun from the threads of everyday interactions, transformed into something extraordinary. Her sculptures are an invitation to embrace the absurd, to provoke the imagination into a state of wakefulness, and to marvel at the beauty of life’s intricate tales.
My pieces follow the trail of daily life and seek to transform the mundane into the fantastic. Each piece is an expansion on a reality, a tall tale of what might have started as an everyday interaction. I embrace the absurd and extraordinary provoking the imagination into wakefulness.
