These
striking pieces by American Artist Lynn Read look effortless in their making. Produced by
the technique called incalmo, each coloured section must be blown to
the exact size and shape required, when ready they are joined whilst hot
allowing the glass to bond. Once attached there can be no amendments. A
very exacting process that takes extreme skill.
The forms are reminiscent of science equipment yet have a softness through the colour palette used and the delicate contrast of the transparent bowl of each form and the opaque neck.
Read's inspiration
stems from sources as diverse as medieval tapestry to Bauhaus. One of
the most important aspects of his work is that the pieces are all made
by hand, free of moulds and automation, using age old techniques of
glass blowing that have remained unchanged for centuries. The directness
of his approach is a welcome juxtaposition to the graphic nature of his
forms. |
