wolf Heart
Forecast Journal-Issue 4.5
Forecast is honored to unveil Wolf Heart, a stunning solo exhibition by acclaimed glass artist Emily Colvin. This new series captures the raw beauty of nature and the human spirit, intertwining Colvin’s masterful craftsmanship with her deeply evocative vision. With each intricate piece, Wolf Heart invites viewers into a world of delicate strength and untamed emotion, reflecting the essence of Colvin’s artistry. We are proud to present this transformative body of work, which stands as a testament to the power of glass as a medium for storytelling.
“I can't help but wonder why I break things. Coming from a broken family, I searched for a long time to find my wolf heart. The rebuilding of broken things drives me; breathing new life into my broken masterpieces. ‘Wolf Heart’ incorporates images of a non-existent mother, a non-existent Venus and black glass omitting beauty. I am the one missing from these images. I am the process itself; a meditation pushing the darker bleeding parts of my soul to the surface. I thrive in love and colors make me happy; but the glass is sharp and the weight creates risk. ‘Wolf Heart’ is death, fear, and every nostalgic thing that has held me back. Each piece has become a portal allowing me to travel beyond my own existential limitations. The need to continue is my own wolf instinct, and I choose to seek a fundamental transformation of the psyche until the day I don’t survive the hunt. Working through pain is beautiful. Courage is a choice.” ⸺ Emily Colvin
