More About Isabella Kullmann

Question IconWhat inspires you?

I am interested in the glass object in a situated environment – the play of light, the fall of shadows, the reflection on the surface, and the refraction of colour. The architectural space or domestic interior thus becomes active: adding colour, movement, and light to the material form.

Question IconDescribe your creative process.

Lots of sketches and maquettes and then 'what if' moments when working in the hot shop with a glassblower.

Question IconWho are some artists that have influenced your work?

Carlo Scarpa, Saul Leiter, Peter Zumthor among many others...

Question IconWhat is the most important tool when creating your work?

A Palomino Blackwing pencil.

Question IconWhere do you go for inspiration?

I am a great believer in the serendipitous moment. Wherever you are and whatever you see there will always be something that feeds into your work in some way.
