Artists’ approaches to working with the medium have become increasingly multifaceted-combining glass with video, exploring 3D printing and other emerging technologies. It can be blown, cut, cast, flameworked, kiln formed, filled with neon gas, and illuminated. Glass may be an unforgiving medium, but it’s extremely versatile. What do you think glass can offer that’s different to any other medium? I have taken the approach, that to better understand a material, I needed to push its limits to see where it crossed over with other materials. By combining the unique qualities of the glass with the rich potential of mark making, I have developed techniques to consider how line can inform, define and enable an object as a drawing.īy taking an interdisciplinary approach to developing work that looks beyond the disciplinary confines of one material, I have combined ideas and theories from the wider fields of the visual arts, anthropology and the sciences, extending the potential of glass to be understood as drawing. Investigating how and what ‘drawing with glass’ could be, I applied theories of line, conventions of contemporary drawing alongside ideas and rules of geometry to the distinctive material quality of glass. How does incorporating drawing into glass art offer new creative possibilities?
