Glass alumnus’ commission installed in Plymouth

Nigel — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 04:59:48 +0000

Glenn Carter worked on this piece over the course of his MVA at the ANU School of Art, using the resources of both the School’s Glass Workshop and the Canberra Glass Centre. It is simply titled Lens. Glenn writes:

It was a commission by the Plymouth City Museum and Art Galleries. Its motivating theme is based around the idea of the piece as a reflection and focus for the close examination and observation of the monumental and the microscopic holdings of the collection of the Plymouth City Museum and Art Galleries, encompassing visual, decorative, social and natural history collections. The three repeated images in the glass are drawn from the scales of a butterfly’s wing. This image acts as a conduit for the changing natural light which passes through the image and is transferred across the gallery floor.

The medium is painted, stained and laminated glass. It is 107 cms in diameter and 30cms thick. Weight 85 kilos.

are you painting for now or for the future?

If you thought those hyper-illuminated black-wall-rectangular-spotlight installations were just an artefact of the NMA – making a painting look like a computer screen turned up to the max – now we find that Harvard conservators are planning to restore the lost colours in a Rothko mural by projecting the missing colours over the faded original! Why not just a projection? See the Popular Mechanics (yes!) article here…
