Invitation to Metonymy Exhibition
Posted by IslaOsborne on September 1, 2010
A very quick invite to Metonymy, a collaborative exhibition where writers and artists are paired in an two month blind date to create a unique and innovative work of art.
I am paired with Poet Miriam Barr, and we have created a series of fused glass stick charts. Pathways is a series of seven glass wall sculptures influenced by pacific navigational charts. These objects were made from sticks, bound in geometric patterns that depicted sea currents, the stars and the islands. Instead of representing topography, these charts mapped a journey through ever-changing ocean swells.
An invitation to the opening is below and it would be great to see you there. If you can’t make it but like the work, check out my blog Island Glass. If you click on the Metonymy link there is an artist statement and some more images.
