Abstract or Description:

Brachlow’s new work explores colour connections within sculptures. Through careful setup of two or three colours, flow patterns can be made visible. The Brachlow’s new work explores colour connections within sculptures. Through careful setup of two or three colours, flow patterns can be made visible. The flow of glass is governed by form, by composition of glass, by colour and by temperature, as well as by distance of reservoir from the mould, and placement of glass within the reservoir. In Vortex II and Vortex IV, neodymium purple is used in combination with other colours. This results in delicate delicate flow patterns. Neodymium glass changes in hue in different kinds of light, which means these sculptures can change significantly in appearance depending on illumination. Anemoi (the Greek Gods of the Winds) and Xanadu (a place of beauty), both combinations of blues and greens, display a more subtle flow. In Halycon, two shades of turquoise were mixed during the casting process, resulting in a near-homogenous colour with faint swirls.
