Hiromi Takizawa, Trail Gazing, 2019-2024, Fused glass, 72 x 72 x 1 in
HIROMI TAKIZAWA
Takizawa poetically employs glass as a reflection of place, manipulating it in unexpected ways to create works of varying size, including experiential and installation pieces like this example. At California State University, Fullerton, she has reinvigorated the program since 2015. Takizawa passes her fresh conceptual approach and technical rigor on to her students, several of whom are participating artists in the show.
