FORMING SPACE

Canberra based contemporary glass artist, Lucy Palmer, utilises the inherent qualities of glass to suggest the calming effects of landscape and to explore the relationship between physical spaces and the mind. Her works are made for and about the senses, as opposed to work which represents a space purely through visual and physical characteristics. The restrained colour schemes in her kiln formed glass pieces draw in the viewer, as texture, depth and colour gradient reveal themselves and build an inviting a space for reflection, curiosity and getting ‘lost’ in the works.

Informed by her background in graphic design and an interest in modern architecture, Debbey’s ceramic sculptures feature slab-built geometric forms. A limited palette of three different unglazed clays emphasises the simplicity and minimal aesthetic of each form. With each work containing multiple elements, Debbey’s interest is in the changing dynamics when elements are rearranged. Further connections are made using delicate inlayed lines, threading one form to the next.
