Artist/Maker
Place of origin

Tali Dalton (b.1969) is an accomplished young glass artist. Born in the UK, she has lived in Australia since 1979, studying glass at Monash University, Victoria, and later at RMIT University, Victoria, where she received a first class degree. In common with a number of other Australian glass artists, her works derive from natural or landscape forms. According to the artist, Tali Dalton: "My work explores the nuances of relationships. I draw visual inspiration from nature, in particular vines and their spiralling tendrils. The resulting work is an exploration of form, texture and positive and negative space; the intent is an abstract expression of human interaction."
