Andrew Erdos is an American contemporary artist and glassblower. His practice focuses on sculpture, design and new media.

The artist works around notions of natural phenomena and the sublime.
The four elements - earth, air, fire and water - are a fundamental part of her creative process.

His unique pieces combine ancestral and contemporary glassmaking techniques, reflecting both nature and the industrial world.
His Incantations series, halfway between a giant rock crystal and a glass mountain, represents the artist's work, and highlights the creative processes he has been developing for over 15 years: Erdos creates a textured material, like rock, ice or crystals, by pouring molten material onto piles of broken glass.
The resulting sheets are each fused with a blown glass bubble. The bubbles are then assembled and modulated to create the Incantations piece.
