Artist Jessi Li Shows Off Her Decadent Glass Skills

Seattle newcomer Jessi Li opened her show “Decadence”, at Pottery Northwest on Saturday night. Amazing glass and clay components dazzled as figurative sculpture and architectural elements, creating fantastic and edgy compositions. “Decadence” is a finale to Jessi’s two-year residency at Pottery Northwest. In addition to her impressively ornamented clay work, her glasswork sparkles in jewel tone colors. The roughly 10-inch cast figures are haunting portrayals of Jessi’s models and friends, who are beautifully sculpted in distressing poses. Jessi was awarded the Art Bridge Fellowship at the Pratt Fine Art Center where she learned to work with glass. Jessi will be teaching a mold making/mold blowing class with Kristine Rumman at Pratt later this year.

Expect to see more work from Jessi Li, Glass Town! She has been bitten by the glass bug and is doing great things with the medium.

Works by Jessi Li on display at Pottery Northwest through February 3rd. Click on the image for more information.
