Kiva Ford

Kiva Ford's passion with glass began early in life, and was anchored with his college degree in Scientific Glassblowing. Through years of work creating complex glass instruments for scientific use, he has perfected his precision and technique in manipulating glass. In recent years, Ford has fabricated glass for a particle detector to be used in the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland, a crucial part of the process for the next stage of particle physics. He has been actively engaged in supporting cutting-edge radiation research, contributed to the development of optical cells for dark matter research, and designed innovative apparatus for groundbreaking cancer studies. His role involves effectively bridging the gap between their research goals and the design and manufacturing of necessary equipment, translating their hypotheses into tangible realities.

 

Beyond the scientific community, Ford is more commonly known for his sculptural vessels, often integrating endangered animals. Kiva's artistic work is influenced by his interests in history, mythology, and the natural world.
