Playing With Fire, grey & amber graphic patterned glass vase by Sarah Wiberley

About the Item

‘Playing With Fire' is a unique glass sculptural vessel by the British artist, Sarah Wiberley. Handblown from layers of colour, the precise patterns shown are created by masking and sandblasting different areas, with each configuration revealing a different section and colour combination. Created as part of their 'It's Complicated Collection', this work is best explained by the artist: "Our emotions tint the way we see the world. Our perceptions are marred by their inevitable presence. From a bolt out of the blue to the green-eyed monster, rose-tinted glasses to seeing red; these tints have different hues. Some feelings are spikey & raw, stabbing & immediate. Others have a slow, gradual fade, barely detectable until their absence is felt. The focus of Wiberley's glassmaking revolves around her love of colour. Often acknowledging the traditions of glass making within her style as well as technique; she has adapted many traditional techniques to suit her expressive style and balances the fluidity of glass forms with her imagery and pattern work. Wiberley began glassmaking in 2001 during her studies at The Surrey Institute of Art and Design, graduating with 1st class honours 3D Design; Glass in 2004. It was during this time she began to discover her love of combining imagery with glass forms, experimenting with glass layers of different opacities. She went on to work for a number of glass studios honing her craft before embarking on a masters degree at The Royal College of Art, graduating in 2011 from the Ceramics and Glass department. Here she had the opportunity to combine her own style with the skills she had learnt over the previous years. Wiberley continues to develop her work in her own London-based studio, she has exhibited her work in Europe as well as in the UK.
