Jacqueline King
CREATIVE PRACTICE
Maker of dreams in glass. Utilising cold glass and warm glass techniques including copper foiling, leadlighting, stained glass, kiln formed glass and flameworked glass.
ARTIST STATEMENT
As a self taught glass artist who gathers inspiration from the wildish place between sleep and waking, I attempt to create what comes to me with no idea how sometimes...just faith and gratitude that my hands and mind continue to assist me to create what is seen or felt. My artistic vision is the exploration of the fragility & diversity of life, one aspect being our natural environment & the other in the more human realms of healing from trauma.
