Portrait
Ruth Allen

Installations My relationship with the material glass is the catalyst for the design science of my ideas. This symbiotic relationship between maker and material, technique and process allows the physical idea to come to fruition. Focused research has nurtured the scientific, theoretical and conceptual contribution to the development of m...

Portrait
Brian Corr

Brian Corr continually seeks a deeper understanding of the world in which we exist and the nature of our experience within it. His work is an attempt to embody and further understand the depth and wonder he finds in living, and to come into closer contact with the beauty and power which informs it. Working with glass and the elements of volume and voi...

Portrait
Matthew Curtis

Matthew Curtis is fascinated by the architecture of microscopic organic forms; by images in which one sees exquisite and multifarious cellular forms, intricate and delicate, which reflect the complexity of growth. On closer inspection each structure is sympathetic to the next, a theme that Curtis continues to pursue in his artistic practice. These pie...

Rozlyn de Bussey

Individuals in Australian studio glass have always challenged the notions of glass-making techniques, and have constantly experimented to broaden the possibilities available. Australian glass artists have not been constrained by centuries of structured tradition. I believe that we have been able to extract from these traditions and reinterpret new meaning...

Portrait
Judi Elliott

I know what shape I am. I am a square. I often try to be round, but I am uneasy with it. Round slips away from you easily. Squares are positive and strong, you know where you are with a square. I have been working with architecture as my inspiration for many years. I am now focusing on the standing house and the wall. I find that each building or wall ...

Portrait
Andrew Gleeson

Andrew Gleeson's upbringing was retrospective of a typical conservative Christian family. Through his work, he aims to reference his history within the church, along with his exploration of identity and individualism within a structure he believed to be oppressive and restrictive. Gleeson instils his personal experiences into concept based work which he ...

She is interested in how systems and patterns function in construction engineering and have adapted industrial production methods to small-scale studio practice, experimenting with techniques of multip...

Portrait
Nikki Main

Nikki Main's work has strong conceptual elements and speaks of the finite resources of the world, with her recent work focusing on the movement of water in the landscape and soil fertility. Main employs a range of glass making techniques to create sculptural objects which depict a clear representation of objects in their natural form, such as the river...

Portrait
Kirstie Rea

My work explores the process for an artist of gathering - gathering ideas and inspiration. Always present but at times and in some places it is the sole focus and those are incredibly exciting times. In 2009 I participated in the Gudgenby Ready-Cut Cottage Residency*, Artists in Place, in the Namadgi National Park south of Canberra. It took ...

Portrait
Luna Ryan

Ryan works on an intuitive basis. Personal and general stories are transformed into composite glass tableaux. The tableaux often feature abstracted figures, and at times are combined with vessels. More recently Ryan has been combining found objects and glass. Most recently Ryan started to recycle television screens. Usually she makes a quick sketch of...

Portrait
Harriet Schwarzrock

Elementally, Schwarzrock's current body of work is derivative of singular cellular forms and their varying structures. The intrinsic complexity of growth and natural forms is a vast field from which Schwarzrock draws inspiration. She works with repetitive blown glass forms and stainless steel in order to create wall panels and larger sculptural forms, ena...
