On the "WAY" fun side ... Tom Moore

A true new artist in every sense of the word - Tom Moore - looking at all of the modern possibilities of expressing himself - object, photography, video ... a colorful land of adventure and out-there fantasy.

Moore’s glass blowing expertise enables him to create a plethora of hybrid personalities. His works definitely never suffer from a sense of the predictable. His anthropomorphism's have closer links to the illuminating world of illustrated children’s stories, where nothing is impossible - defying gravity and melting the coldest heart.

Michael Janis: a fresh look at glass art

Inspired by ways we transform ourselves, I work at creating creates glass pieces that have both visual and spatial depth. By layering and fusing sheets of glass with overlapping elements, I strive for an interactive commentary using simple forms with intricate glass powder drawings. These works are a continuation of my frit powder drawings that I have been working on for some time now. The layered compositions allow me to make unusual juxtapositions of imagery.

I work hard to create some kind of meaning out of my artworks - dream-state surrealism using figures, text and common objects, and hint at questions. The artworks suggest meanings but they encourage the viewers to draw their own conclusions. The work has an intrinsic meaning for me, but they remain open to multiple interpretations. I want to encourage the possibility of exploring meanings beyond those I put there – I count on the viewer bringing something to the work. More on MICHAEL JANIS

Material Matters: Lisa Cahill

Lisa Cahill creates dreamlike images, which allow viewers to draw associations with their own remembered landscapes, resulting in a meditative and or emotional response. Inspiration for this work ranges from the colours, textures and limitless space of the Australian bush to the harsh winter landscape of Denmark, her mother's homeland. Having spent many years living and travelling the world, much of this time spent in Denmark, Lisa's kiln formed glass connects structures of urban architecture, the associations and memories they invoke, and her innate respect for the natural landscape. Lisa's minimal wall panels are a record of her memories of these different landscapes and the transitory nature of the urban experience. Rather than a direct reproduction they are more her own interpretation of the quiet intensity to be found therein. Lisa's art is a document that ponders the reality behind the visible and becomes a place for quiet contemplation.
