“The Human Condition”- Launched on 5th September 2022

“The Human Condition”
5th September – 31st October. Then permanently in our Gallery area.

So, what makes us human? What characterises the essentials of human existence from birth and continues throughout our lives?
We invited our CGS Members to ponder on birth, growth, emotion, aspiration, conflict and mortality or simply demonstrate through their glass what makes them who they are.
Celebrating their own personal condition to let their glass do the talking. They show us what they love, hate, fear and what they hope for.

Title:Nature Preserves

Description: Wine bottles were broken and melted on the torch to create natural elements assembled in a scene of small details. It is an effort to return discarded glass to nature. These bottles may take more than 4000 years to decompose. The thought of the quantity of discarded glass on our planet is mind boggling. "Nature Preserved" aims to remind us of our interconnectedness with our environment.

Title:Undefined

Description: Establishing connections to the past is how we learn. We always create boundaries as we define new things. I've been experimenting with intermediate materials like wax to find the realm of undefined. Through the lost wax casting process, I link glass and metal in a contrasting way. In this organic and chaotic collaboration, I find a state and a space that is undefined and unbounded.

Title:Legion Series

Description: This series of work explores the idea of the 'human entity' through the air figure: initially in an ethereal or transient sense; more recently it has led me to contemplate the digital 'human' and how the extension of the self beyond the extents of the human body, into the virtual, is changing the notion and reality of 'being' for the next generations.

Description: DISPLACED SERIES, APRIL 2022.
We are living in a troubled world where anger, cruelty, self-interest, and injustice are driving people from their homes. Unfortunately, this has always been the case from time immemorial and for many reasons we seem unable to live peacefully with each other.
In these pieces that idea of a home, a place to live in peace, is something to cherish.

By using blues, it adds a positive note: - there is always hope, since it's the colour of healing, calm and serenity.

Title:Nature Preserves

Description: Wine bottles were broken and melted on the torch to create natural elements assembled in a scene of small details. It is an effort to return discarded glass to nature. These bottles may take more than 4000 years to decompose. The thought of the quantity of discarded glass on our planet is mind boggling. "Nature Preserved" aims to remind us of our interconnectedness with our environment.

Title:Undefined

Description: Establishing connections to the past is how we learn. We always create boundaries as we define new things. I've been experimenting with intermediate materials like wax to find the realm of undefined. Through the lost wax casting process, I link glass and metal in a contrasting way. In this organic and chaotic collaboration, I find a state and a space that is undefined and unbounded.

Description: DISPLACED SERIES, APRIL 2022.
We are living in a troubled world where anger, cruelty, self-interest, and injustice are driving people from their homes. Unfortunately, this has always been the case from time immemorial and for many reasons we seem unable to live peacefully with each other.
In these pieces that idea of a home, a place to live in peace, is something to cherish.

Description: Who are we but caretakers of our planet, carrying it like Atlas, on our weak shoulders? But this work can also symbolise how we carry our own emotional baggage and burdens throughout our lives, pulling them behind us, forming us into the adults that we become.
By using blues, it adds a positive note: - there is always hope, since it's the colour of healing, calm and serenity.
