Evoking a sense of fragility and flow, Dowson and Napier explore the balance between solidity and transience through glass and paper.
Process and materials are at the forefront of their practice, as both artists celebrate the inherent qualities and transformative possibilities of their chosen mediums.

An Introduction from Glass Artist, Celia Dowson
“THIS COLLECTION IS OF OBJECTS ‘IN-FORMATION’, & SEEKS TO REFLECT ON THE CONTINUAL TRANSITIONING OF THE WORLD AROUND US. THROUGH MATERIAL & PROCESS, IT EXPLORES HOW FORM TAKES SHAPE AS A MOVEMENT BETWEEN FLUID-SOLID STATES. THROUGH OBSERVATION & REFLECTION, WE CAN SEE OURSELVES NOT AS SEPARATE OR FIXED BEINGS, BUT AS PART OF THE RHYTHM OF THE ATMOSPHERE; AS MATERIALS IN A SPACE OF CONTINUAL FORMATIVE & TRANSFORMATIVE PROCESS."
‘The sky is a canvas,
clouds billow, folding and unfurling their way through the atmosphere.
And in a clear sky, when the air is blue, the wind still blows.’
“I’m recreating the intricate patterns, threads and textures of fabric, transforming solid forms into delicate, ephemeral creations. I explore the delicate balance between solidity and transience, tradition and innovation.”
– Isobel Napier
