Biography: Moshe Bursuker

Name: 
Moshe Bursuker

In his April 2007 residency, Moshe Bursuker explored the relationship between glass and photography, and worked to integrate the two media in a way that “enhances both forms of artistic expression. He believes that “glass has the ability to take photography into the three-dimensional realm, and that photography can highlight the more lucid qualities of glass.” He used his residency to further expand his body of work, experimenting with blowing, sculpting, casting and fusing to increase its complexity and scale and creating architectural and site-specific artwork. Bursuker has exhibited with UrbanGlass at SOFA Chicago, 2005.

Bursuker holds two BFAs from Hartford Art School at the University of Hartford in sculpture and photography. He has studied and taught classes at The Studio, Pilchuck Glass School, and Penland School of Crafts. Currently, Bursuker lives in New York, where he incorporates photography and glass in his sculptures and installations.
