Additional Thanks to Alexander Dixon for Creating This Year's Award

Alexander Dixon Hand Blown Glass Vase

Alexander Dixon was born in Orange County California in 1994 and earned his BFA with a dual concentration in graphic design and glass from California State University, Fullerton, in 2020. During that time, he found a passion for glass and, since then, has been committed to challenging its conceptions and limitations. Currently, he is a graduate student working toward his MFA at California State University, San Bernardino, where his studio resides. Living in a highly industrialized area, he draws inspiration from quotidian life and the old, desolate environments that surround his hometown of Brea, California. In combining graphic design with three-dimensional form, he creates paradoxical sculptures that construe the line between reality and perception by exploring tension and exploiting conventional notions of glass as a material.

 

You can see Alexander Dixon in action is his short video on YouTube.
