Overload of pics alert.. making up for time away :) I was happy not to miss the Glass + exhibition at the Zig Zag Gallery in Kalamunda last week. I was immediately attracted to the piece above and below, a beautiful re-use of recycled bottle glass and brass machinery parts, 'Green and Gold' is a 'tribute to Australia's farming heritage and the people who work on the land'. Has a touch of the Art Deco styling don't you think? The cluster of Monarch butterflies directly below is definitely worth an embiggening..
I didn't take a shot of every piece, there were too many but each piece was a delight to see. The glass sculpture below was exquisite. Inspired by the story of Sappho's Leap the skull 'tucked deep inside the glass' is an extraordinary combining of stone and glass. I am ever in awe of the artistic talent and imagination put into the creation of these works. Which is your favourite? Happy Wednesday, take care and stay safe..
These certainly are pretty!
ReplyDeleteI would love a look through that exhibit, Grace. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGlass is amazing stuff this is all about color and light. Your featured piece is stunning.
ReplyDeleteThere is something magical about glass. I like the piece "As The Page Turns".
ReplyDeleteI am very much attracted to good glass art. But, these days I am trying not to let any more Stuff enter my homes.
ReplyDeleteOh my that featured green thing is interesting and suggestive. . . .
ReplyDeleteGlass art is gorgeous and looks lovely with great light. I love that featured green and gold piece. It is stunning.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Grace and have a lovely day.
Wow, I am most impressed with what can be produced in glass. I remember watching glass blowing in Swaziland and they make some amazing things. Thanks so much for sharing all these photos. Hope all is well Diane
ReplyDeleteDamn clever, these glassblowers! I'm with you in liking the Green and Gold, though I expect I'll have heard enough about green and gold once the cricket test matches have started.
ReplyDeleteWOW what a fabulous exhibition. I love your previous posts too, I've been absent for too long.
ReplyDeleteVery nice glasswork.
ReplyDeleteIsn't glass art amazing, I do like your photographs.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
...glass can be such a simple thing or something of amazing beauty.
ReplyDeleteThere are some really beautiful pieces here. I love the beauty of glass.
ReplyDeleteOh, beautiful pieces, Grace - but I feel like an elephant already, Ingo´d be near a heart attack if I was in there ;-)
ReplyDeleteGostei de ver estas belas peças, aproveito para desejar a continuação de uma boa semana.

All those pieces look wonderful. If you are a lover of glaswork as art and have Netflix then I recommend "Blown away" a competition between glassblowers who can blow and make the best ideas and the best pieces.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful exhibition!
ReplyDeleteSome great art works here.
ReplyDeleteAmazing works
ReplyDeleteFabulous exhibition Grace. I like the one with the green bottles, but also like the very colourful one with the chicken wire, so clever.
ReplyDeleteYou probably already know that this show would appeal to me. I love glass art and there are some gorgeous things among your photos. I love the green too but, that butterfly piece is so intriguing.
