Australian/New Zealand Glass Artist Wendy Fairclough

Here are some pictures of the cast glass work of Wendy Fairclough, which was shown at the Drill Hall Gallery in Canberra. Wendy is a New Zealander based now in Adelaide, and I was knocked out by how she's taken very ordinary, utilitarian things - towels, brooms etc, and turned them into such beautiful objects. She's given me permission to show these images of her work (and of course they're not to be copied or used by anyone else without her permission).

To be honest, the pictures can't do them complete justice because so much of the beauty is in the interaction of the glass and light as you move around them, and how strange it is to see very realistic, usually soft items rendered in glass - you sort of do a double take.

Hope you like them!
