Dan Nuttall
– ‘Eleven Forbidden fruits’
Sinister, beautiful and
often unexpected guests in our allotments and gardens, - mushrooms are the
fruiting body of a fungus.
I am fascinated by
mushrooms and toadstools. Some are edible, some are not.
Often illusive they
seem to appear from nowhere and hide in shady spots
before quickly disappearing
again.
Clear Glass has been
chosen to pay a simple homage to the pure beauty of these most unusual;
alluring, magical fruits
To achieve the
required forms - molten glass is gathered from the furnace then manipulated,
stretched and shaped using simple tools. After cooling, specific surfaces are
etched in order to achieve a simple contrast of textures
