The Spaces Between is a solo exhibition of works by Leah Kudel exploring the absent spaces that surround us in life. They are spaces that make us feel something. They bring us together, make us question our lives, fill us with curiosity, and help us grieve after loss. An intersection between handblown glass, photography, video, and interactive art, this exhibition blurs the lines between fine craft and contemporary art.
Kudel was a contestant on the Netflix series Blown Away: Season 1, a high-stakes glassblowing competition. Now based in Edmonton, Leah has returned to Canada after spending four years travelling the globe working as a professional glassblower. Leah has worked as an artist in studios across the USA, New Zealand, Italy, Czech Republic, Indonesia, Fiji, Denmark, United Arab Emirates, and Croatia.
