I wanted to produce a colourful piece of Trapunto Art Glass that captured the essence of the lovely sea and the harm caused by pollution. The inspiration for the experiment was a fusion of three elements: the captivating ocean around the Seychelles, a desire to make a bold statement, and an ambition to delve deeper into the possibilities of transparent colored glass. Each of these influences brought its unique touch to the experiment, resulting in a piece that's both intriguing and visually striking.
Summary of comments when this piece was exhibited. Your approach is quite touching! Incorporating the plastic bags adds a layer of interactivity to the artwork, allowing viewers to engage more deeply. The texture indeed invites a sensory exploration, creating a narrative that's both warm and intriguing. The composition, with its intricate details, brings a sense of peace. It's wonderful how art can evoke such a range of emotions and connections.
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.
