Kathy Elliott (NSW)

Artist in Residence 2024

Based on Guringai Country in North Manly, NSW, Kathy Elliott is a renowned glass artist, specialising in carved and engraved glass. For over three decades, she has collaborated with glassblower Ben Edols, creating works that have gained international recognition. Their pieces are held in prestigious collections, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Museum of Arts and Design in New York, and the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra.

“During my residency, I will be exploring highly graphic patterns carved through layers of blown coloured glass. My focus is on manipulating how light interacts with these layers, creating a captivating interplay between the transparent outer shell and the opaque core.

 

I’m most looking forward to uninterrupted time to develop and evolve my ideas, free from the usual distractions of everyday life.”
