Large Glass Sculpture ‘Ethereality #76’ by Tracy Nicholls

Ethereality #76 is a unique large glass sculpture. Comprising of two mirror image panels of opaque white glass situated upon a solid walnut base. Ethereality #76 has a solemn air of beauty that commands the space it resides.

The distinctive design is delicately cut out by hand. The intricate, lace-like web formed through each panel undergoes multiple kiln firings to fuse and slump the glass.

Gentle undulations that form into the glass web, create depth and movement within this beautiful large glass sculpture.

Situated with a generous backlight, Ethereality #76 will be a centrepiece of any room. Emulating a soft glow within the solid areas, the light will dance through the apertures of the web to produce delightful shadows on surrounding walls and surfaces.

N.B. The images shown are an example of the ones in the series. Each art glass is handmade and therefore there will be small variations in colour, shape and pattern. Each one is unique and signed by the artists.

Large Glass Sculpture Artist

British Glass artist Tracy Nicholls discovered glass during evening classes she attended in 2003. Perusing her interest in glass, Tracy went on to complete an MA in Contemporary Craft- Glass, at UCA Farnham. Graduating with Distinction in 2009.

Tracy has set up her studio in Kingston, Surrey. Tracy works predominantly with opaque glass to create her signature pieces. Intrigued by the nature of erosion, Tracy studies the disintegration of solid forms over time. Observing the transition of the ever more delicate and fragile form. Subsequently transforming into an absorbing, lace-like structure. Simplicity is the key to her work and favours the monochrome colour palette, using light, shape and form to capture the eye.
