Bringing Glass to Life: The Art of Giclée Prints
As an artist deeply connected to the transformative power of glass, I have spent years creating sculptures that explore the unseen forces shaping our world. But recently, I've been reimagining my glass pieces in an entirely new form—giclee prints.
The beauty of glass lies not only in its form but in the way light interacts with it, revealing depths and colors that are constantly shifting. By capturing detailed areas of my sculptures through the lens of a camera, I can preserve the play of light, shadow, and texture in a way that truly showcases the energy and movement embedded in the material. Each giclee print becomes a window into this vibrant, ethereal world.
The process of creating these prints is both intricate and intimate. Every photo is carefully cropped to highlight specific sections of the glasswork—sometimes the curves of a piece, other times the blending of colors or the contrast of transparency against opacity. Once captured, the images are transferred into high-quality giclee prints, a process known for its precision and attention to detail. This method ensures that each print maintains the subtle nuances and textures that make the original glass pieces so captivating.
Why giclee prints? The flexibility of this medium allows for the translation of my glass sculptures into a format that can be appreciated in new ways. Prints make it possible for collectors to bring the energy and elegance of my glass sculptures into their homes and galleries without the limitations of scale or the unique constraints of the medium itself.
As an artist, this shift allows me to share my work on a broader scale, reaching more people and offering them the chance to experience my art in their own spaces. Whether you're an avid collector or new to my work, these giclee prints serve as a new way to engage with the themes of transformation and unseen forces that drive my artistic practice.
I'm excited to continue experimenting with this format and look forward to sharing more of these pieces as they become available.
