Emma Haase, a multidisciplinary artist from the United States, has recently opened her exhibition titled "Stress" at the Pärnu Artists' House project space. Currently residing in Pärnu, Haase is not only showcasing her work but is also teaching glassblowing at the Estonian Academy of Arts. Her journey as an artist has led her to explore the intricate processes of glass production, recycling, and casting over the past decade.

In her latest work, Haase delves into innovative glass creation methods, which culminated in the casting of glass vertebrae. This particular project was inspired by a chance discovery of a vertebra during a walk, sparking her fascination and leading to the production of nearly 125 glass copies of the found object. This unique focus not only demonstrates her creative exploration but also highlights recycling and sustainability in art.

Haase's exhibition serves as a significant cultural exchange between American and Estonian artistic perspectives and emphasizes the importance of glass as a medium in contemporary art. By teaching glassblowing while running her own exhibition, she contributes to the local art scene, fostering an appreciation for both traditional and modern techniques in glass art.
