Details about work or recent projects
Brodie's recent work explores tension and balance. He contrasts outer surfaces with inner shapes, sensual curves with hard edges. He calls the original blown a 'pod' and, with this organic image in mind with great precision, he cuts through the glass to reveal its structure. This dissected work creates a window into another world where dancing curves and open spaces contrast and unite.My aim is to first engage the viewer by blowing beautiful sensual forms. Then often dissecting them to reveal their inner space. I then mark the outside of the glass in a variety of ways so as to create different surface textures.'
