Cathryn Shilling is a glass artist, living and working in London. She bridges the gap between fine art and craft, positioning kiln-formed glass as an exciting and innovative material for making sculptures. Human interaction, interplay and movement are at the core of Dissonance. Often the face we show to the outside world is a mask, but body language is a very difficult thing to regulate and our true nature is often revealed. Shilling used clear glass canes, pushing the material beyond its accepted technical parameters in order to explore the relationship between fabric and the human form, and how it reflects our moods and emotional situation.
