Day and night, black and white, bold contrasts made by shadows in stark sunlight – all are examples of light and dark. Darkness, is the direct opposite of lightness, is defined as a lack of illumination, an absence of visible light, or a surface that absorbs light, such as black. It is estimated that 99% of our universe is hidden in the dark – and as light travels at a finite speed, the further you look into the universe the further one looks back in time.

The CGS invited glass artists to show us their contrasts, extremes, even their explorations into space – to boldly go where no one has gone before.

 

We are so thrilled to launch this show as the first show of 2025. And a huge thank you to all those artists that joined the show to take part!

It is one of the most exciting shows we have had yet!

59 CGS artists are taking part in the show!
