| Object history | Artist's Statement: "We work with glass for many reasons. For Ben, it is a strong attraction to the process of working in the Venetian style of glassblowing. For me - I am inspired to work with glass by what is possible in terms of carving and decorating the forms and working with the light to generate a breathtaking effect. For us - glass is a medium for colour and light as well as an opportunity to explore design and we look for ways to use these uplifting elements in ways that are original." Kathy Elliott Shown in COLLECT (Raglan Gallery, Australia, stand), Crafts Council, V&AM, February 2004. |
