2005 Finalist

Red ‘Curled Leaf’
Hot formed and wheel cut glass
36 H x 32 W x 19 D cm
This particular series of work has been inspired by the large leaves that fall from the palm trees in this area, their elegant curves and proportions. We were interested to make a sculptural form with a beautiful tension and sense of rhythm while at the same time exploiting the wonderful qualities of the glass.
