Angela McHale earned her BFA with a concentration in glass from Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2017 and AAS in Scientific Glass Technology from SCC in 2021. Her work grapples with concepts such as feminine strength, environmental fragility, and the apocalypse. She is inspired by mythology, science and how they relate to current events; most notably the climate crisis. Angie was drawn to plasma light sculpture like a moth is drawn to flame, and is inspired by the close relationship between art and science in this budding artform.
With plasma light sculpture she harnesses energy, utilizing the glow as metaphor for the soul and draws parallels between the noble gasses in her sculptures and our planets’ changing atmosphere. Angie’s multi-chamber plasma vessels demonstrate how her study of scientific glass has lent an ever increasing level of complexity to her work.
