Hiroshi Yamano studied at the California
College of Arts and Crafts, Chuo University, Tokyo, and the
Tokyo Glass Institute. He received his MFA from the
Rochester Institute of Technology. While in New York
he developed the technique for which he is best known for:
rolling thickly blown hot glass over silver leaf to fuse it,
scratching figures into the surface, and then plating the
surface with copper. Yamano uses glass fish with his
pieces and says, "A fish, like a tuna or a mackerel,
has to swim its entire life, otherwise it dies. So, I
think of the fish as myself. I have to keep doing,
keep working, keep going, keep jumping into life." |
