Since Therman Statom worked at Pilchuck in Seattle, Washington in 1971, he has been known as an innovator. Throughout his career, he pushed the boundaries of his medium – challenging us to look at glass in new and interesting ways. Through extensive research of his subject of choice, Statom creates exquisite and colorful sculptures. After thoroughly studying subjects like ancient Egyptian gardens, Statom lets the subject permeate his work. As a draftsman and a painter, Statom builds architecturally inspired pieces filled with found objects and vibrantly painted images. Ranging from small houses, to wall pieces and large-scale walk-through installations, Statom creates sculptures and paintings on and with sheets of flat and blown glass. His work is in such notable collections as: The Detroit Institute of Arts; The High Museum of Art-Atlanta, GA; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Milwaukee Art Museum; Musee des Arts Decoratifs; Palais du Louvre-Paris, France; Musee de Design et D'Arts Appliques/Contemporain, Lausanne, Switzerland; Oakland Museum of Arts and the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian's American Art Museum-Washington, DC. Therman’s work has been the subject of one-person exhibitions at Museums throughout the world.
