Feb Bead Challenge

Posted by Karen Irwin on February 24, 2011

 I went with a red theme – seemed appropriate as my daughter is a Med Lab Scientist working in Transfusuion at Waikato Hospital. (She is on her way to Christchurch to do what she can there as I am writing this). I like using hardware in my pieces so have added a couple of tv adapters to this one.

Isla – Feb Challenge

Posted by IslaOsborne on February 17, 2011

Below is one of the pieces I am submitting to the Courage Beads exhibition. It’s not really made of beads as the lampworked elements are made directly onto a mandrel so the glass is attached to the stainless steel. Hope you like it!

Brown Trojan, 2011
Lampworked glass, stainless steel, acrylic. Constructed.
550mm (diameter)
In her current body of work, Isla explores the relationship between immunotherapy drugs and their host viruses.
Playing with scale and referencing Victorian ideas of collection, Isla presents a thoughtful view of the world we live in.
