Aulisca I (2017) Original Sculpture by Tracy Nicholls

A unique kiln formed glass sculpture of delicate white strings of glass, woven together with the finest copper wire.

Part of a series of pieces that originate from the study of diatoms which over time have evolved beautiful patterns of perforations in their exterior shell which creates a striking visual when seen under the microscope.

By using delicate lines of glass through many firings, these pieces are created in two halves. To complete each one, the matching halves are sewn together using thin lengths of metal or silk thread. This contrast of colour and material joins the fifteen points where the glass meets and forms a striking web through the centre of each sculpture, enhancing the inherent beauty of the glass.

This delicate opaque white glass art piece with a striking copper accent will make a delightful addition to any interior space.
