Glass

Bachelor of Arts (Art) Curtin University of Technology
Currently studying for Honours

estelledean@ozemail.com.au


Estelle uses various glass art methods such as kiln-forming, pate de verre, cane making, murrina, flame-work and is working on her blowing skills. Her interest lies in the process of making glass, the poeisis of glass, with an imbedded theme of, ones struggle to achieve harmony within a community.

Estelle’s work deals with the individual as part of a community - listening, touching, forever changing and evolving. Her main interest lies with murrina and the pate de verre processes, which involves an intense relationship in forming internal markings and the object. The glass segments holding together various surface and internal treatments, function as a metaphor for the individual and all its idiosyncrasies.
