31 Glassworks explores fragility, movement, and transformation through delicate circular glass forms, each suspended by two of the 62 handmade metal fixings on a custom floating wall. Every glass circle is unique, individually crafted and paired with its own welded metal fixing coming together as a cohesive yet dynamic instillation. This setup allows the subtle pastel hues and translucent textures to interact with shifting light, creating a dreamlike quality to create a space of calmness for viewers to experience within a gallery. Displaying the pieces on a white wall further enhances this effect, as the colours appear to glow against the surface, adding a mystical dimension. The delicacy of the glass and subtlety of colour hint at transformation – this pieces, as it exists now, holds endless possibilities for evolution. Experimenting with bolder colours, as seen in the close-up of the orange piece, suggests how these works could be pushed into a new realm, enhancing their presence, and shifting how viewers perceive them. The flexible arrangement of the fixings allows for infinite display possibilities, creating unique colour interactions and spatial relationships. Presentation is key to my practice; this is reflected in the creation of the floating wall. I want these works to exist freely, unconstrained by rigid placement, allowing them to evolve and create a unique/organic way of displaying glass art. This adaptability also allows the pieces to be sold individually, as they can be easily mounted in any space if the walls present a problem in terms of displaying in a certain space. The title reflects the work’s core concept – individuality within harmony. Each glass piece stands alone, yet together they form a cohesive whole. Rather than following a strict arrangement, I place them intuitively, allowing them to speak for themselves. This organic approach creates a sense of freedom, inviting viewers to engage with the work on their own terms – what colours draw them in? Which pieces capture their attention? Are they influenced by the positioning or how the forms protrude from the wall? Inspired by fluidity and circular forms, the installation embraces the interplay of light and colour. The way each piece extends from the wall creating different depths reinforces their organic nature, celebrating both individuality and unity within a shared space.
