“GLASS GRADUATES OF 2020” Part of our CGS ‘Lockdown’ Series 4/6

Glass Graduates 2020 have so much to show in their CGS online exhibition!

Every year the Contemporary Glass Society produces a Graduate Review for glass artists graduating that year. There are also prizes for excellence given alongside the Review. The Contemporary Glass Society (CGS) is the UK’s foremost organisation for supporting established artists, and up-and-coming makers. It was established in 1997 to represent the interests of glassmakers within the national and international community, and to promote contemporary glass in the wider art world.

Sadly this year because of the corona virus pandemic, the world has shattered for graduates. Their educational establishments have been shut prematurely; they have not been able to access workshops and studios to complete their final pieces of work or to even remove their work. Consequently their degree marks have been based on their ‘concepts’ rather than the work itself and their end of year Graduate Shows have not taken place.

Because of this, CGS has been unable to produce the 2020 Graduate Review.

However, we couldn’t leave students who were graduating in the lurch so we have launched Glass Graduates of 2020 (the Lockdown Exhibition.)

This is our first Graduate Show and we are excited to share graduates’ work with the public and glass making community. Despite the restrictions placed upon them, graduates have produced a dazzling and wide ranging demonstration of their ability and creative approach to contemporary glass.

Although we are not producing a Graduate Review this year, 2020 students will be invited to join students from 2021 in a combined production next year. Glass artists are always creative in making the best of the worst!

This show is highlighted on the CGS website for the month of August 2020.

Launched on:1st August 2020

Title: Making Faces (2020)

Dimensions: 100mm x 100mm

"My most recent body of work Making Faces is a series of kiln-carved masks that reference the phenomenon of pareidolia, which involves perceiving human faces in random patterns. I am particularly interested in how this leads people to attach emotional responses – or even personhood - to inanimate objects.”

My work is called The story of the Kraken
The Story of the Kraken is a love story I have created and set it firmly in Norse mythology, though the context of the story I have been able to go into the workshop and using hot glass, and coloured frits I have created a choppy seascape and a drinking vessel fit for Odin himself.

Installation “She was asking for it”

· A big wall Medusa-panel: 223 cm x 140 cm x 5 cm consisting of 9 separate float glass panels

· 12 sculptures with heads of anonymous women, each of them placed on a stand. Each of the 12 sculptures: +- 30 cm x 25 cm x 5 cm.

Each stand is 130 cm x 30 cm x 10 cm (12 stands in total) and each of them has a small panel with a typical victim blaming quote like “She was flirting”, “Know your place” ect.

Photo credit JL Elias, Kerkhof.

In this installation I explore the resonance between the Medusa Myth and how our contemporary society treats female victims: What causes us (both men and women) to blame women in one way or another who have been abused or raped? I hope that my installation will trigger many visitors to help upending victim-blaming narratives that heap sympathy on the perpetrator.

For each part of this installation I started with a unique glass firing process where copper and corroding chemicals are fused with the tin side of float glass. Starting from the traces that are formed during this process I proceed with a number of techniques- slumping, kiln fired painting, gilding, engraving…

The blue piece would be: 350mm by 160mm with a wall thickness of 60mm

“Though this collection is currently digital, it reflects my love for the hot shop and desire to learn and develop techniques. With an aim to enjoy myself, I pulled coloured glass like taffy which is added as a trail. These pieces are thick-walled to allow the detailed colour to ‘dance’.”

" I come from Jingdezhen, the porcelain capital of China, I fall in love with glass when I was studying in the RCA. I am interested in the physical and conceptual possibilities of these interior and exterior spaces. Using the optical properties of transparent cast glass, I invite the viewer into these spaces and reveal how the variations of shadow and light allow for a different understanding of this object and the forms around it."

"My most recent body of work Making Faces is a series of kiln-carved masks that reference the phenomenon of pareidolia, which involves perceiving human faces in random patterns.

My work is called The story of the Kraken
The Story of the Kraken is a love story I have created and set it firmly in Norse mythology, though the context of the story I have been able to go into the workshop and using hot glass, and coloured frits I have created a choppy seascape and a drinking vessel fit for Odin himself.

Installation “She was asking for it”

· A big wall Medusa-panel: 223 cm x 140 cm x 5 cm consisting of 9 separate float glass panels

· 12 sculptures with heads of anonymous women, each of them placed on a stand. Each of the 12 sculptures: +- 30 cm x 25 cm x 5 cm.

Each stand is 130 cm x 30 cm x 10 cm (12 stands in total) and each of them has a small panel with a typical victim blaming quote like “She was flirting”, “Know your place” ect.

Photo credit JL Elias, Kerkhof.

In this installation I explore the resonance between the Medusa Myth and how our contemporary society treats female victims: What causes us (both men and women) to blame women in one way or another who have been abused or raped? I hope that my installation will trigger many visitors to help upending victim-blaming narratives that heap sympathy on the perpetrator.

For each part of this installation I started with a unique glass firing process where copper and corroding chemicals are fused with the tin side of float glass. Starting from the traces that are formed during this process I proceed with a number of techniques- slumping, kiln fired painting, gilding, engraving…

The blue piece would be: 350mm by 160mm with a wall thickness of 60mm

“Though this collection is currently digital, it reflects my love for the hot shop and desire to learn and develop techniques. With an aim to enjoy myself, I pulled coloured glass like taffy which is added as a trail. These pieces are thick-walled to allow the detailed colour to ‘dance’.”

" I come from Jingdezhen, the porcelain capital of China, I fall in love with glass when I was studying in the RCA. I am interested in the physical and conceptual possibilities of these interior and exterior spaces. Using the optical properties of transparent cast glass, I invite the viewer into these spaces and reveal how the variations of shadow and light allow for a different understanding of this object and the forms around it."

Title: Cróch an Fhómhair

This body of work is an exploration of the impact of contemporary living upon the natural environment. The forms and colours are derived from endangered plant species on Ireland's Red List, particularly, the Meadow Saffron. The delicate nature of the work is intended to bring awareness to the destruction of natural Irish wildlife.
