This is one glass you don’t want to drop

Posted on 04 August 2008 by Hallie Valentine

I wasn’t sure exactly what this was when I spotted it. Turns out, it’s a hand blown glass sculpture by UK artist Amanda Brisbane, who, apparently, everyone is talking about. Her work is in museums in the United States and Europe and the pieces come with a mega price tag. Because they are hand blown, no two are exactly alike. Brisbane also uses sand casting for some of her amazingly colourful and decorative pieces, which have names like Plain Peacock Butterfly (above), Red Sun, and Frozen Water (both after the jump). I really love the abstract forms, especially in the Frozen Water design. The Red Sun also has a strong colour impact.
