The 'Stone Wall' and 'Stone Dome' series are inspired by colours and textures in landscapes we call home. The frosted external texture of the internally shiny glass inspires a familiar feeling. The dusty, neutral colours are iconic of a rural Australian landscape, but also reference the building blocks of urban structures: homes, businesses, walls, pathways.
Created and exhibited for 'Vitreous' exhibition at JamFactory, Adelaide.
