Rinoi Imada is an interdisciplinary artist whose ideas are inspired by glass, treating glass as a material, and as both tools and vessels for thinking and feeling. Drawn from a curiosity in the rich subtlety of human experience, her practice takes in various sculptural relationships with glass and glass related processes to explore languages that are easily dismissed, ignored and unseen through our lifetime. Imada earned her Master of Fine Arts degree in Glass from Rochester Institute of Technology in 2021 and is continuing her career as a visual artist and a glass blower. She has received awards and residency opportunities from RIT, Penland School of Craft in North Carolina and GlazenHuis in Lommel, Belgium in addition to others. She is currently under a fellowship of a craft practitioner(trainee) at Kanazawa Utatsuyama Kogei Kobo since 2024.
