Future Unfolding

Apr 4 - Apr 27 | Opening Reception: Thursday, April 4, 5 - 8 PM
April Surgent | LUNGFULS OF SEA FOG AND TREES | 34371

Surgent’s Future Unfolding debuts a series of large-scale cameo-engraved glass panels that depict liminal moments in nature: fog clinging to treetops at dawn, light caught between storm clouds on the horizon, and coastal wind before a change in weather are a few examples of the nostalgic beauty that April so uniquely captures in her work. As always, Surgent’s rendering of nuanced landscapes through her intensive engraving process is breathtaking.

  • About
    April Surgent

  • view profile

April Surgent started working with glass in 1997, at open-access hot shop studios in her hometown of Seattle, WA. She went on to study at the Australian National University, Canberra, Australia where she graduated with honors in 2004. In 2003, she changed her focus from blown to wheel-engraved glass after studying under Czech master engraver Jiri Harcuba at the Pilchuck Glass School. She has been engraving for 20 years, interested in contemporary approaches to the traditional craft of wheel engraving. Notable recognitions for her work include a 2009 Behnke Foundation Neddy Fellowship, a 2016 USA Ford Fellowship, and acquisitions by Iowa State University and the Smithsonian’s, American Art Museum.

Observation and in-depth research inform her work discussing our changing planet. Her interest in natural history, applied science, and climate change have led her from Antarctica to Alaska studying vulnerable species and ecosystems. In 2013, she worked at Palmer station as a recipient of the National Science Foundations’, Antarctic Artist and Writers Program and in 2016 as a volunteer field biologist for the Hawaiian Monk Seal Research Program. Most recently Surgent has worked in Southwest Alaska with the US Geological Survey assisting with pelagic food web research. Surgent lives and works on the Quimper Peninsula in Washington state.
