David Schnuckel is an artist whose ideas pivot around glass, a writer who wanders through issues prompted by glass, and an educator who challenges students to explore their questions and curiosities through glass and glass-related thinking.
Various experiences of human vulnerability stimulate his studio practice and lend way to projects that examine instances of failure, compromise, risk, and obsession in thoughtfully prompted and skillfully engaged instances of wrongness. Object making, installation, drawing, print, photography, video, sound, and writing are all tools used to navigate through curious places where mishap and the methodical dwell within one another.
Schnuckel is Associate Professor of Glass and the Charlotte Mowris Endowed Fellow of the School for American Crafts at the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York.
