Artist Statement:
in 1993 april wagner and jason
ruff began creating work
collaboratively as epiphany.
their artistic method of
creating together speaks of a
combined aesthetic. the
artists equally design,
develop, and create each piece
signed under the epiphany
name. all aspects of the
epiphany works are created
solely and entirely by april
and jason.
the process used by epiphany
is traditionally termed
“fazzoletto”, which means the
glass is blown in free form.
this is an ancient technique
developed and mastered by
Italian glass blowers over
many hundreds of years. the
epiphany pieces are created
referencing the Italians, but
adding a contemporary twist
that consists of complex color
theory plus a unique way of
sculpting solid glass bits
onto the exterior of the
pieces. no molds are used
during the creation of any
piece. the artists and their
medium work together to create
exquisite and natural forms
that reflect the true nature
of glass as a molten material.
thus these forms are
reminiscent of the familiar,
yet not contrived.
epiphany's definition of an
exceptional piece entails
tight form and line tension,
interior and exterior curves
pulling against each other for
visual dominance, and vibrant
colors that play off each
other yet ...
