BIOGRAPHY<br />
Harriet Schwarzrock graduated from Sydney College of<br />
the Arts in 1999 with Honours in Visual Arts, majoring<br />
in glass, after transferring from a science degree. Prior<br />
to graduating, Schwarzrock travelled through North<br />
America visiting renowned workshops and studios,<br />
assisting artists including Laura Donefer and Steven<br />
Rolfe Powell. On her return to Australia, Schwarzrock<br />
began assisting at Denizen Studio, Sydney, working with<br />
many of Australia’s best glassblowers, developing her<br />
skill and technique and finding inspiration and influence<br />
for her own work.Schwarzrock’s practice is currently<br />
based in her backyard, where she and her partner and<br />
glass artist, Matthew Curtis, run a hot glass studio<br />
together, tinting custom coloured glass.<br />
Schwarzrock has exhibited extensively throughout<br />
Australia and abroad. Her work is widely collected<br />
nationally and international, and her piece, breathe, won<br />
the sculpture prize in the Waterhouse Natural Science Art<br />
Prize in 2014. Harriet Schwarzrock’s work is inspired by<br />
biology, she works with blown glass elements, neon and<br />
metal fixtures, focusing on the exploration of balance<br />
and inter-connectivity.<br />
