2000 Finalist

Gerry KingCrafers, South Australia, Australia



Fleurette


Flame, kiln formed and cold worked glass
158 H x 32 W x 30 D cm


The need for a little exuberance and the desire to "break the mould" of my recent thinking inspired this venture into forming a work which infers both the vessel and its contents. It sits on the edge of realism, allowing speculation of its intention.
