As the artist behind Studio Salamin, Stephanie Tayengco creates glass sculpture and digital interactive art that reflects and changes how you perceive, playing with all three meanings of the Tagalog word salamin, glass the material, mirror, and eyeglasses. Her most recent obsession is exploring art as time compression, overlapping moments into a single space, capturing ghostly hints of what’s been forgotten, overlooked, or displaced.

While working in technology after years of studying art history, Stephanie found she could merge her passions at a neon and physical computing class at Urban Glass in Brooklyn. She continued taking classes in torchworking there and at Pratt Fine Arts Center in Seattle. Now you can find her in front of a torch at BARN on Bainbridge Island and follow her on Instagram @studiosalamin.
