CATHARINE NEWELL VIDEO NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE

Oregon Public Broadcasting's interview with award-winning glass artist Catharine Newell is now available for viewing online. Originally aired last month on OPB's Oregon Art Beat, the video focuses on Alone Together, Newell's recent show at the Bullseye Gallery.

Keenly interested in psychology and human relationships, Newell works from photos of people she takes in public places. In her latest pieces, she re-interprets the photo images by painting them in powdered glass frit on multiple layers of sheet glass and, finally, fusing the glass over bent forms in a kiln. The resulting pieces resemble thin sheets of crumpled paper, like discarded sketchbook pages, recording glimpses of unique individuals who comprise an urban community—living together, but alone.

Newell, who is represented by the Bullseye Gallery, has exhibited widely in the United States and has taught in Portland, Pittsburgh, Australia, and China. Her work has been published in Glass Art Magazine and NICHE magazine.
