Martin Blank has admired the grace and flow of the human form since childhood, digging into clay at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts at age 13. In 1984, Martin earned a BFA from Rhode Island School of Design. That same year, Blank moved west to begin his professional career in Seattle, working at the center for studio glass and learning from the driving force behind it; Mr. Dale Chihuly. Blank worked on the Chihuly team, bringing his infectious enthusiasm and courageous desire to push the material for several years, all the while establishing his own contributions to the glass movement. Martin Blank's work is about carving space. He has created multiple installations in prestigious corporate lobbies and continues to provide impressive public art installations, one of which Fluent Steps, can be seen at the Tacoma Museum of Glass.
