ARTIST'S STATEMENT
Over the last two decades I've explored many ways of working with glass and imagery. Constructed walls explore the beauty of stone bridges, harbour walls, dry stone walling and rocky outcrops. The compositions are evocative of the landscape, the blocks of colour echo the surrounding landscape, water and sky. They have a sense of place and atmosphere. The surface of the cast bowls is created using richly textured fabrics. More recently I am making smaller handmade fired elements which I incorporate into a second firing to form abstract flower and berry bowls. They're fired with 23.5ct gold or lustre - a beautiful centrepiece. My series 'A dialogue at the Threshold' is about the interplay between the interior and the exterior of a form, the fluidity between the inside and the outside. Often drawing the viewer into my dense glass boxes by the allure of 23.5ct gold. CONTACT deborah.timperley@btinternet.com www.deborahtimperley.co.uk |
