Glass as Ink: Seeking Spontaneity from the Casting Process
“The qualities and character of different media fascinate me. It is the feelings and moods they convey, that involve me both physically and emotionally. The fragility and sensitivity of glass enables me to express and convey social issues, reflecting time and personal experiences. It is this sense of discovery and the challenge of the unknown that inspire me to explore new avenues.”
Shirley enjoys experimenting with new kiln formed glass techniques.
My recent work includes monochrome pictures of trees and landscapes, hanging plaques with inclusions, decorative plates and dishes.
Being a full-time glass artist, I am lucky that I get to work with the amazing yet challenging medium of glass every day. As ShogieB I use traditional stained-glass techniques as well as fused glass to create contemporary, fun and bright pieces.
