2002 Finalist

Tom MooreEvandale, South Australia, Australia



Cuckoo


Blown glass
22 H x 30 W x 14.5 D cm


I try to give glass forms a fresh persona while working within a lovely old tradition. I want the work to be surprising and amusing.

I play with arrangements of characters
to create narratives with an emphasis on the absurd,
striving to achieve an agreeable mischief and sorrow.

Not dishwasher safe.
