Marlene Rose (b. 1967)

When people first view Marlene Rose, they often feel certain aliveness inherent in the work itself. Her goal as an artist is to inject life into whatever she makes. In simple terms, to make the piece come alive. 

Marlene Rose's work has a quality of timelessness reflecting both ancient and modern. When casting sculptures she incorporates relics of modern life, interesting objects that have been cast away, industrial waste items that seem to unite present and past. In the end, the completed piece transcends the sensibility of mere time. 

Each piece is hand cast in sand from molten glass in a spectacular process of heat and light. The energy of this dangerous dance of creation reflects in the finished work. They celebrate the unique properties of glass, of transparency, shine and reflection. And because these are cast objects, they hold in their form the memory of the shapes and textures of the materials that formed them; they are fine-grained, rugged or smooth, transparent or translucent, colored or clear. 

The glass immortalizes a glimpse of something fleeting beyond the moment, taking that moment and freezing it over. She calls these pieces Evocators. They are kept moments, shards of what one has seen, unnamed emotions, visions, concepts, memories. They call back; and they are the vehicle upon which vision can ride away. The glass is there only to see through.
