Josepha Gasch-Muche studied painting and drawing at Academy of Fine Arts in Trier. Although originally trained as a painter, Gasch-Muche ultimately focused on glass as her favoured medium, in an effort to expand beyond the two-dimensional confines of the canvas. Inspired by primal geometric forms, Gasch-Muche creates three-dimensional glass sculptures and wall pieces, exploring calculated patterns of light and shadow and triggering optical sensations of vibration and movement. The recipient of prestigious awards, such as the Silver Prize at The International Exhibition of Glass, Kanazawa (Japan), the artist’s work has been featured in important group exhibitions, most recently Glasstress at 57th Venice Biennale, 2017, and is included in the collection of international institutions, such as Corning Museum of Glass, NY, Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk, VA, Toledo Museum of Art, Toledo, OH, Shanghai Museum of Glass, Shanghai, China, Museum für Angewandte Kunst, Frankfurt am Main, Germany and Musée Mudac, Lausanne, Switzerland.
