Coconut Palm
Size: 33 cm x 22 cm
Materials: High Quality Trapunto Glass, Silk Fibres, Natural Hessian, Framed
Inspiration: A colourful piece of Trapunto Art Glass that artistically captured the essence of a coconut palm leaf. The inspiration was drawn from a fallen coconut palm leaf found on Petite Anse beach in Mahé, Seychelles, leading to an exploration of void forms and vibrant colours.
Summary of comments when this piece was exhibited. I resonate deeply with this piece. The artistic representation is strikingly clear, and the colours are seamlessly blended. The ferns and leaves are easily recognizable. I truly enjoy this one. The shapes and patterns in the glass remind me of tropical leaves and ferns found in our forests. It inspires evolving thoughts and a sense of freedom. The asymmetry and colours evoke a positive feeling in me. The piece's clarity and lack of symmetry provide a peaceful and calming sensation, reminiscent of natural surroundings. It exudes a fresh, exotic, jungle atmosphere.
Trapunto Art Glass uses the secretly guarded processes used by the Mesopotamians (1650BC.) to make glass vessels which contained expensive perfumes for the courts of the rich and powerful, and also for use in religious ceremonies. It is said to have mystical qualities and when combined with the Trapunto textile manipulation technique used in Medieval Times (1450AD.) an art form like no other is produced - ones which cannot be copied, or mass produced. Exhibition comments show that Trapunto Art Glass results in a very special personal experience often referred to as spiritual, tranquil or nostalgic thus relaxing the viewer and stimulating the imagination. Each piece of Trapunto Art Glass can take up to 3 months to complete and involves over 50 separate processes and is made to the highest quality standards often using precise hand dyed colour silks to create the experience. Inserted in each piece of Trapunto Art Glass is a hand stamped copper token indicating its uniqueness, providence and safeguarding investment.
