JUDI ELLIOTT

Glass Artist, ACT, Australia

Judi is an artist who came to creating works in glass long after she started her career as an artist. In the last 10 years Judi has achieved great success, with her work being exhibited and acquired internationally.

Judi says about her kinformed sculptural glass works: I know what shape I am. I am a square. I often try to be round, but I am uneasy with it. Round slips away from you easily. Squares are positive and strong, you know where you are with a square.

I have been working with architecture as my inspiration for many years. I am now focusing on the standing house and the wall. I find that each building or wall that one encounters, is imbedded with the lives of the people who inhabit them. I try to recreate this feeling in my walls.

I believe that there is no necessity to force change upon ones work. The joys and sorrows are impacted on our work as we live them, and are there for all the world to see. The work is kiln formed at high temperatures and eased, with heat into individually designed stainless steel moulds. These walls and houses can stand alone but gain strength by being grouped together in twos, threes, fours etc.
