Trefny Dix and Bengt Hokanson

Our blown glass vessels are sculptures.  The murrine patterns and color washes in our work are used to emphasize every aspect of the sculptural forms and bring to life the glass itself. The curves are wrapped with color; tall forms are latticed with surface murrines and clear windows are splashed with abstract murrine patterns.  The glass's transparency, it's rich color and it's ability to become any form are all at play in our work. We use a combination of Italian, Swedish and experimental techniques to create our glass forms. Modern painting and sculpture, world textiles, urban graffiti, natural landscapes and marine life are some of the many inspirations for our work.
