@Regrann from @bullseyeprojects - Material Language Continues at the Bullseye Resource Center Bay Area Featuring Nisha Bansil, Joseph Harrington, Nathan Sandberg and Amanda Simmons Through casting and kilnforming, glass can take on a myriad of forms that go well beyond the smooth, glossy surfaces we interact with every day. The artists included in Material Language combine fine glass powder, course frit, sheet glass, and billet with heat to create sculptural works that are reminiscent of folded paper, geologic formations, cracked concrete, and the markings of animals #MaterialLanguage #NishaBansil #JosephHarrington #NathanSandberg #AmandaSimmons #BullseyeProjects #GlassArt #ContemporaryGlass #ContemporaryArt #ContemporaryCraft #Sculpture #Sculptural #emeryville #Exhibition #Gallery #BayArea #BullseyeGlass #BullseyeGlassCo #BullseyeGlassResourceCenterBayArea - #regrann

Thrilled to get this beautiful invite to The Art of Gathering, the next exhibition I’m taking part in at the @newcraftsmangallery in St.Ives opening on the 14th of September. I’ll be giving an artists talk about my work on the 19th as part of the St.Ives festival and showing my jewellery alongside my objects for the first time. Really looking forward to the show. #exhibition #newcraftsmangallery #stivescornwall #gathering #collecting #contemporarycraft #making #appliedart #silversmithing #jewellery #craft #landscape #oftheland #gathered #gather #collecting #materiallanguage #materiality #landscapeart #languageoflandscape #senseofplace #poetics #stuartcairns #artist #maker #smith #contemporaryart #irishartist #irishart #contemporaryirishart https://www.instagram.com/p/B1oRUQ6ABC2/?igshid=41c3bwvgv0ps

Work in progress - gathered sea plastic fragments reworked and bound into a steel outline with antique Irish linen thread. The essence of a new piece coming together, the bound pieces seem precious like a blessing.. #workinprogress #seaplastic #fragments #remnants #binding #linenthread #blessing #gathered #found #reclaimed #materiallanguage #visualpoem #visuallanguage #utensils #implements #strangetools #flatware #leffel #tablescape #contemporaryirishart #contemporarycraft #contemporarysculpture #fromthesea #stuartcairns #artist #maker #smith #environmentalart https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxrus8GFh0I/?igshid=9avvuq4seku2
