The Balance Between/The Balance Beyond
Fused, blown and slumped glass, engraved aluminium
10 H x 40 W x 6 D cm
The Balance Between and The Balance Beyond are from a current body of work using glass, metal and light. This work focuses on both the natural and the projected elements in the Australian landscape. Drawn together by the power and strength of the environment, there develops a balance over time, a reconciliation and a coexistence between nature and man.
