Rose-Mary Faulkner
Canberra Glassworks studio artist
2023 Recipient of Glassworks Mentorship
Rose-Mary Faulkner is an emerging and Glassworks Studio artist specialising in kiln formed and cold worked glass, with new work in neon.
Rose-Mary’s artistic practice explores the perspective of the body from unique and subjective lines of sight often through the soft and layered medium of decal imagery on glass. As an extension of her exhibition work, she has a small production line of kiln formed jewellery and homewares, as well as the recent addition of her new blown glass tumblers series called Corduroys.
A graduate with Honours from the Australian National University School of Art & Design, Glass Workshop, Rose-Mary has exhibited nationally and internationally including Australia, Berlin, America, Japan, and has been acquired by the National Glass Collection at the Wagga Wagga Art Gallery. In the last few years, her work has been shown in Canberra Art Biennial (2024), Landslide Gallery (2024), The Other Art Fair (2023), Upending Expectations Canberra Glassworks (2021) and FUSE Glass Prize (2022). She won the National Emerging Art Glass Prize (2018), was a finalist the FUSE Glass Prize (2022) of the inaugural Klaus Moje Glass Award (2019).
Recently Rose-Mary curated Homebody at Landslide Gallery in late 2024. Featuring work by Glassworks artists Annette Blair, Jacqueline Bradley, and Rosalind Lemoh, the all female group exhibition consisted of artists working across diverse mediums, art forms and career progressions, who through their work consider connections to place, people, and the body through the relationship of objects, imagery and with reference to the domestic setting.
In 2023, Rose-Mary Faulkner recieved the Canberra Glassworks Mentorship residency and worked alongside mentor, David Cooper in the Neon Studio.
Rose-Mary works extensively as an educator and mentor for other artists and visiting artists to the Canberra Glassworks such as Robert Fielding and Iltja Ntjarra Art Centre. She has worked as a sessional teacher in the ANU Glass Workshop and more recently as a technical assistant for masterclasses in Australia and Pittsburgh, USA.
