In Fragments is an exploration of Life Art
Created by Jonathan Jennings Harris
    Person
    An artist proficient with glass and many other materials

    Ethan Bond-Watts is an artist living and working in New York and Vermont.

    His practice spans collaborative performance, living sculpture, institutional commissions, and vibrant installations for fine homes.

    “Blue Buddha” — 2014

    Ethan grew up in Charlotte, Vermont, the second of three brothers — raised on curiosity, justice, and travel. As a teenager, he apprenticed with glass blowing maestro Alan Goldfarb in Burlington, VT — where he grew passionate about contemporary and academic art.

    • Classical glass — 2007

    In 2009, he graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Vermont, where he studied Art, Environment, and Philosophy — earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Studies, and making glass installations on campus.

    Emergence — 2009

    In his twenties, Bond-Watts continued exploring contemporary and historical art with travel to Europe and Asia — while expanding his sculptural practice.

    • Cosmic Solid — 2011
    • Creeping Shoji — 2012
    • Seed — 2015

    For much of 2016, he collaborated with Jonathan Jennings Harris on the arduous glassmaking process featured in Apprenticeship and Phase Change.

    • Ethan and Jonathan at the Shelburne Quarry during Apprenticeship — August 2016

    In March of 2020, he was among the first wave to flee Post-COVID Brooklyn, returning home to Vermont — where he currently makes a living selling his art, repairing heavy equipment, doing custom farm work with his fleet of tractors and agricultural machinery, and collaborating with other artists.

    • “Blue Buddha” — 2019

    He can be found watching sunsets fade to meteor showers on sketchy rooftops; talking feminist politics with truckers; singing Dua Lipa while doing forestry; listening to philosophy while plowing cover crops; and doing the dishes after dinner parties.
