Clare Belfrage, a renowned Australian glass artist, has captivated the art world with her unique approach to glass sculpture. Her work is characterized by a delicate interplay of light and form, where she “draws” with glass over the surfaces of her creations. This intricate process involves laying down fine glass stringers atop the blown forms, a technique that imbues her pieces with a sense of movement and depth.
Belfrage’s sculptures are not just static objects; they are dynamic expressions of time and nature, often inspired by the subtle patterns and rhythms found in the natural environment. Her pieces are celebrated for their ability to capture the ephemeral beauty of life, marking out the passage of time through their fluid designs. With over three decades of experience, Belfrage continues to push the boundaries of her craft, exploring the pulse and flow of forces that shape both the natural world and her artistic vision.
