Last week we opened an exhibition featuring Katie Brown's handblown glass: "A Study of Pattern". In this exhibition, Katie has displayed her talent along with her artistic eye, her ability to tease this hot, fluid medium into the most stunning of delicate objects. Katie has used Italian techniques to show delicate lines, forming swirls and almost spiderweb like pattern on contrasting colours, such as black. red, dark blue, green and also white on clear - one of the most beautiful pieces....
The pictures speak for themselves.....the glass balls haning in the window glow and shimmer, working when the light is on or off, actually, which sounds a foregone conclusion but was actually a surprise to me.
Katie and I looked at some old images of her work from a few years ago, and in her usual, understated style said: gee, I have come a long way, ah!
Thank you, Katie, for providing us with such beautiful, stunning work to show off.
