Our Summer Selection of Glass

 

With the height of summer approaching, we have taken a moment to reflect on the glassware we have at Flow which cast a cooling serenity throughout the gallery. By colour, translucency and texture - glass vessels absorb and reflect the lasting sunlight. 

 
 

Edmond Byrne, Celia Dowson, Ulla Forsell, Jochen Holz, Annika Jarring, Michele Oberdieck and Vezzini & Chen are artists showcasing these movements and qualities within their work.

Sipping cold drinks from a cooling glass vessel has the greatest sensory perception on a summer’s day. Be it through Ulla Forsell's tall glasses imprinted with the wild summer flowers and butterflies that surround us. Or the depth of colour in Celia Dowson’s glass beakers where light mellows and reflects as a drink is poured in them. Or perhaps the playful form of wine glasses by Jochen Holz which allow the flow of the beverage to cast across the palate

— glass seizes summer’s long evenings.

 

 

Glass vessels contain, reflect and refract light in beautiful ways. The carved textures of Vezzini & Chen and Jochen Holz's work is illuminated in sunlight - casting shadows with the moving light of the day.

 
 

In the summer flowering plants toss out blooms for weeks on end. In most cases, you can harvest to fill vases and still have plenty left to enjoy your garden. The quest is to find a vase for these blooms – one that is beautiful with or without flowers in it.

 
 

The long cylindrical glass vases of Edmond Byrne give space for the intertwining of stems and the open neck of Annika Jarring allows blooms to fall open in a loop. Each vase tells a unique story.

Michele Oberdieck’s vessels evolve from form and movement found in nature. These vessels whether standing alone or with fresh-cut blooms ask us to explore the effect of light and layers of colour in our home. As long summer light casts through these works - tonal flows of colour softly seep out across the room creating unique impressions of tranquillity.
