JamFactory Wednesday Talks // Tim Edwards

Join us for a casual Wednedsay Talk with South Australian contemporary glass artist Tim Edwards

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Tim Edwards is one of the most nationally and internationally recognised Australian artists working in glass today and is still the only artist to have undertaken the JamFactory Associate Program twice - initially in Ceramics in 1992 and then in the Glass Studio in 1995-96. Edwards' works are generally blown and shaped in the hotshop and then cut, carved and ground using a lathe with diamond and stone wheels.

Edwards has notebooks filled with sketches of the 'vessel' - a form ubiquitous to the fields of glass and ceramics and our everyday domestic experience. His drawings often reference the way objects are rendered in animated films, comics and graphic novels and play with how we see and perceive objects. This series of sculptural works cleverly utilise the translucent qualities of glass to create subtle three-dimensional deceptions, where the actual vessel, created through the glassblowing process, is superimposed by the graphic representation of a vessel.
