For Deborah Czeresko, glass blowing is a full-body sport.

After trying out graphic design — “really boring,” she said — Czeresko took a class at the New York Experimental Glass Workshop, now known as UrbanGlass, and found the right fit, something that would energize her on a holistic level. Glass blowing, she learned, required grip strength, endurance and balance. “It’s like a sport out there, in that it is physical, and it’s moving all the time,” she said.

Today, Czeresko is a glass artist who has exhibited her work at the Corning Museum of Glass and the Smithsonian American Art Museum. In 2019, she won the Netflix competition show “Blown Away,” during which she experienced some blowback for what she described as her “polarizing” personality: She acknowledges a frankness about the expanding role of queer women like herself in a male-dominated space.

Her latest show, “Fruiting Bodies: Creatures of Culture,” running at the Hannah Traore Gallery on the Lower East Side of Manhattan through May 27, features a forest floor consisting of 1,200 pounds of glass “soil” filled with hand-sculpted mushrooms, fruiting bodies, decaying leaves and neon mycelium. The installation is meant to evoke LGBTQ culture.
