Sara HellsingI am an emerging Australian glass artist currently based in Toowoomba, QLD. I started a Bachelor of Visual Arts at the ANU School of Art in Canberra in 2009 and graduated with first class Honours in 2013. My work has been exhibited throughout Australia and overseas in Kaohsiung, Taiwan; Munich, Germany; and Prague, Czech Republic.
I primarily work with hot glass, often combining it with found objects and photographic images to create works which engage with themes of memory and recollection. In my work, I seek to translate these phenomena from the nebulous space of the mind into physical, object form. I use glass to echo various characteristics of memory, such as presence and absence, clarity and distortion, the fragment and the whole. |
