ARON LEAMAN
“My colors are based on controlling the effects that are created from heat and air, producing loose and interesting layered patterns. I am regally experimenting with color and light, building layers to capture movement to keep these pieces alive. I am creating a feeling within a contained form allowing the patterns to start to take shape in one’s own thoughts. The closer that one looks the more imagery will start to come out.
The bird form has been ever present in my work. To me it is a reminder of place and home. Translating the bird shape into glass has been challenging, but the graceful lines and curves lend its self well as a canvas for the patterns and feeling I am creating.”
Aron Leaman has been working with glass since 2001. He has spent years traveling and honing his skills working with many glass artists from around the world. He currently resides in Lowell, Ma where he has started Mill City Glass Works.
The lines left in the sand at low tide, the motion of the eddies and current, the pattern that bugs leave on a branch when you remove the bark, these natural patterns have found a way into and have inspired my work.
His work is playful, colorful, and will make you smile. For him it is mostly playful because he is having fun during the process. Working with glass there is endless potential for improvement keeping it forever rewarding. When people see his work, he likes to leave them pondering with a smile on their face how did he do that?
