Glass Art

I work in both Leadlight and Kiln Formed
Glass (also
known as "warm" glass to distinguish it from "hot"
or blown glass). I trained at the Melbourne CAE and had a
residency at the Meat Market.

I bought a fresh Sea Perch from the market and did a
plaster cast of one side of it. A glass sheet decorated with small
glass chips and stringers was slumped to take the shape of the cast. Unfortunately,
the plaster
cracked giving rise to a "fault line" effect. One has to be
prepared for surprises in warm glass work! Thus it became a
"fossil" fish.

I love the effect of chips of colours trapped
between the glass sheets. It gives an "organic" feel to an
otherwise rigid leadlight window.
