About Forman Function
Employing a variety of techniques Forman Function strives to provide unique, handcrafted objects that can exist both as user friendly items and sculpture. The designs are inspired by the search for something Forman refers to as the “wiggle” - instances in which materials, objects, or people no longer have defined limitations and can fluctuate between hard and soft, rigid or flexible. The idea that perhaps all materials could – and should – be questioned in this manner, pressed to reveal their limitations and breaking points, opens up a world of fascinating possibilities.
If glass can be s t r e t c h y and gooey then splinter in the following instant, perhaps foam could shatter or cardboard could inflate.
Forman Function was formed in 2015 by artist and designer Gayle Forman in Norfolk, Virginia while working at the Chrysler Museum Glass Studio. Forman Function has moved all around the world and is currently settled in Brooklyn, NY. All the work is fabricated at UrbanGlass in Fort Greene Brooklyn.
