2020 has seen Sigi produce work which on reflection was heavily influenced by the pandemic. The Change Series of 3 pieces is made up of ‘Still Waters’, Ripple’ and ‘Maelstrom’.

New Artists and reviews
My work explores where art, craft and design meet. In the context of Postmodernism, more and more of the generation born in this age are not satisfied with one ‘mode’ of working. Under the abundant conditions of our material world, crossover and interdisciplinarity become a way to explore these possibilities and conditions. I firmly believe that the blur of these borders does not mean that there are no boundaries. Exploring cross-border can be seen as a new field of enquiry. It has characteristics of art, design and craft, but it cannot be defined by anyone of these disciplines.
My work is based around my final pieces that i created during my degree but on a much smaller scale. Each piece of jewellery is unique due to the organic creation of bubbles. Recently i have been experimenting with metal inclusions and adding more colour to my pieces.
Catherine Dunstan is a glass artist, teacher and author based in Bristol, UK. Catherine specialises in pattern-making in glass, creating sculpture and wall-art featuring 3D kaleidoscopic patterns. She graduated with an MA in Glass (Distinction) from the University for the Creative Arts in 2021, with her graduate work recognised by the Contemporary Glass Society with a Commendation in their New Graduate Review. She was shortlisted for New Ashgate’s Rising Stars Prize 2021 and selected for inclusion in the British Glass Biennale 2022.
In November 2023, Catherine was awarded funding by QEST. This will see her undertake training in the hot shop in 2024 to further explore creating sculpture using her patterned glass, combining rarely paired kiln-forming and hot-working processes.
Catherine is a teacher and mentor to other kiln-formed glass artists, running a calendar of courses attended by students across the globe. She has also guest lectured at multiple universities.
