JESSICA LOUGHLIN

Glass Artist, SA, Artist

Evaporating into the air, solidifying at altitude, settling into dark opaqueness on the horizon. Here, I pause in distance, my attention drawn to how the vapour lifts, expands, and floats. All is effortless, noiseless.

With these pieces, my work aims to find the quiet space within the viewer, the aesthetics evoking an emotional reaction, rather than dominating with symbolism or narrative.

Through multiple firings, I combine fused and cast glass components to create illusions of graduating density, translating the airborne into solid space. The perception of moisture held and suspended. I see these forms as freestanding pictures that use light as their canvas.
