Opaque White Glass Sculpture ‘Ethereality #523’ by Tracy Nicholls

With her preferred medium of opaque white glass, sculpture artist Tracy Nicholls presents Ethereality #523. Her vision of disintegration was captured superbly. Within this piece, Tracy has meticulously hand-cut a crevice-like design into the two glass panels.

Fired multiple times, the resulting fusion, slumping and consequential undulations create the desired movement and depth.  Complemented by the shadows cast as the light dances through the apertures of the web.

Ethereality #523  is a unique white glass sculpture which exhibits the slow internal weakening of a solid form. Wonderfully held on a solid walnut base.

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.

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.
