Fl-Uttering
2005
FL-uttering is a pun on the word "uttering" and is a visual representation of my act of 'speaking out'.

These 80 pieces (utterances) leap off the gallery wall to invite, entice, and create humour around the perimeters of the white, Modernist gallery space.
They reach deep into my love of domestic processes (i.e sewing and wrapping) and integrate cast glass with wire, thread, fabric, wax, and paint.
The continued exploration and daily expansion of small pieces allow me to experiment at a quick pace, and create work that emulates the feeling of a journal-like self-narrative.

The kiln-cast glass pieces are originally created in wax and I use the lost-wax process to turn them into glass. I also use small hand-sewn canvas shapes that are painted with acrylic paint. They are three-dimensional representations of daily thoughts, moods, and events and together they form a collection that is pinned, and piercing the white gallery wall with an assemblage of my ‘utterances’,
Dimensions: @ piece is approx 2cm X 2cm on a wire 2-10cm long. 70 pieces total.
Materials: kiln-cast glass, wax, wire, fabric, paint.
