ART WORK SELECTED FOR THE PRESTIGIOUS BRITISH GLASS BIENNALE 2019
The British Glass Biennale is the foremost juried exhibition of excellence in contemporary glass by British artists, designers and craftspeople in the UK.
ARTIST DESCRIPTION OF VITAMIN C
Nature produces incredible structures and the piece I have created for the exhibition is a panel inspired by the Crystalline structure of Vitamin C.
I have used a microscopic picture of Vitamin C as the starting point of the glass piece. The work is made entirely out of glass and lead created using traditional stained glass techniques. Antique hand blown flashed glass is cut and then engraved. Some pieces of glass have been screen printed on original bespoke fused glass sheets. The glass is painted and stained using silver stain. It is fired in a kiln before being leaded up into the panel submitted using traditional techniques.
