Kieran Vogt

Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Kieran Vogt is a multi-disciplinary artist from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada working in glass, illustration, and pyrography. The interpretation of patterns, especially those found in the natural world, inform his art. Nature and the fantastical have been lifelong interests of his and the excitement and love derived from this special relationship are reflected in the work he creates. While he culls great inspiration from the entire natural world, he has a particular fondness for the diverse forms of insects, plants, and fungi. That prevailing passion is reflected in his current work which centres around abstracted glass floral sculptures and lattices. It explores the multifaceted forms inherent in the biosphere, blurring the lines between taxonomic kingdoms, and takes cues from the symmetry and innate geometry of life on a microscopic level.
