Caren Peters-Horton

Caren seeks to communicate beauty with her glass creations, turning the enquiring mind of a scientist to explore light transmission with mathematical geometry. Her application of the geometry of hypotrochoids to the process of creating in kiln formed glass has led to a body of work, The H Collection. Each piece offers a playful expression of a single subject with the overarching theme of hypotrochoids uniting them all, a process that connects the artist with her childhood enjoyment of a Spirograph toy. "Caren has developed a synergized style encompassing her scientific observation and artistic interpretation." Living in Wiltshire, Caren has sought tuition from established artists across the globe, including Bob Leatherbarrow and Catherine Dunstan, which has allowed her to build a skills base that directly supports her creative endeavours.

Recent Projects on my CGS profile include:

Surf – Reminding me of my love of swimming in the sea.

Fossilized – Inspired by my memories of digging for treasure.

Galaxy – As technology advances so the images of galaxies are evermore captivating. In this glass I have captured the radiance of varying elements within a pinwheel galaxy.

Generations – A triptych of gravity vessels, parent, child and grandparent (elevated on a clear glass stand), their genetics are represented by the patterns. I explored the concept of age through the process of kiln forming each vessel, waste glass was recycled from the creation of one vessel to each subsequent vessel. The changes to the molecular characteristics of the glass that this recycling process induces could be said to ‘age’ the glass. The ‘Grandparent’ is elevated on a stand to represent the veneration of elders.
