Pippa Stacey
Glass Artist
Drawing
"In every piece of work I do, drawing always comes first."
My aim is to create work that is both sensitive and contemplative, always carefully considering the context in which the work is to be shown.
Preliminary sketches develop into thoroughly researched concepts and the world of drawing onto glass gives my illustrative work another dimension.
A strong sense of line is important together with the play on silhouette shape, shadows and light. I endeavour to capture a dynamic balance with positive and negative spaces.
Particular inspiration is the use of the ‘inkblot’ for shapes to draw into and out of.
I enjoy ‘hiding’ imagery in my drawings, encouraging you to look more closely.
