Alison Lowry, Glass Longsword (stencilled enamels)

£250.00

Cast glass, stencilled enamels (red)

Approx 68cm x 110cm 5cm

Alison Lowry is a glass artist living and working from her studio, ‘Schoolhouse Glass’ in Saintfield .

Lowry, though an artist primarily working in glass, is also interested in textiles, especially clothing. For her clothing is photographic, bearing the imprint of the people who have worn it. Not just the physical imprint of their bodies, but indicators of the culture about them, of their choices and the choices made for them; dictated by fashion and societal and financial structures. As the artist puts it: “Fabric preserves the essence of its maker; traces of its wearer become entwined with the warp and the weft, allowing physical objects to become containers for memory.”

Inspired by the Armoury in the Wallace Collection, she created a series of glass breastplates and swords for the first Wallace Collection Residency
