Asher Holman’s blown works serve as a testament to the enduring influence of scientific innovation and the craftsmanship of skilled artisans. These concepts seem almost polar to one another, but through the medium of blown glass he seeks to marry them.  Specifically as these concepts relate to significant man-made constructs, thematically represented in these works through topographical maps and the Fresnel (lighthouse) lens. These intricate glass artworks are a homage to the pioneering spirit of exploration and innovation that defined past eras. He adeptly draws inspiration from these pillars of human ingenuity to breathe life into their work, imbuing it with compelling forms, captivating patterns, and intriguing textures.
