FUSE Glass Prize: Artist Talk

In this special event FUSE Glass Prize 2024 artists talk about their works and creative practice with Lisa Cahill, ADC CEO and Artistic Director.

The FUSE Glass Prize is a non-acquisitive biennial prize for Australian and New Zealand glass artists. It provides a platform for artists to push themselves and their work to new limits and focuses public attention on the importance of glass as a medium for contemporary artistic expression.


Speakers:
Kate Baker is a contemporary artist whose practice merges photo, print and moving image technologies with studio glass. A PhD Candidate of the Australian National University’s School of Art and Design, her practice is based in Sydney.

Madeline Cordone lives and works on Ngunnawal and Ngambri country and is primarily trained in glass, though engages with other mediums such as ceramic, drawing, metal, and performance. Her current trajectory explores architectural theory and phenomenology, with a particular interest in shadow, light, space, and the body.

Katie-Ann Houghton is an artist, designer and maker who works between Canberra and Sydney. Her contemporary works are inspired by early twentieth century design and embody a decade long passion for traditional Venetian glassmaking techniques. Houghton’s design philosophy is based on the idea that the objects we use every day should engage our senses and bring us joy.
