For four decades Wayne Strattman has been making art with the universe’s most dominant and visible state of matter: Plasma. Encompassing the skills of the glassblower, the disciplines of the physicist, and the sensibilities of a sculptor, he’s worked to create multilayered meaningfulness in his lighted works, combining the elements of glass, gas, and electricity. This unique art form intimately unites the worlds of art and science, providing insights and inspirations from both.

The lecture will be held in person at the Newport Art Museum and virtually on Vimeo, and will be followed by audience Q&A and tea reception.
