This skin I’m in stretches, accommodates, responds.
Its familiar and unfamiliar
tactile and alien
transient and permanent.
External forces pucker and prick it.
Internal forces push against and out of it.
It responds with patience, protecting, repairing
replenishing. becoming new.
This skin I’m in.
2023 Winner
Liam Fleming
Form is a constant enigma. There is something relieving and redeeming to let go of control in the making. The processes of testing, experimentation and analysis are more than a means to an end, combing repetitive elements into a singular work highlights the relationship between the individual components and the whole.
2022 Winner
Tim Edwards
Tim came to glass from a ceramic background, from which he developed a bold sense of design and surface manipulation. This can be seen in the works for which he has gained an international reputation. Tim’s work is blown or shaped in the hotshop and then cut, carved and ground using the lathe with diamond and stone wheels.
