About the Item

'Hard Rime' is a unique sculptural centrepiece by the British artist, Cathryn Shilling. Sharing intricate detail with the artwork's natural counterpart, Hard Rime is created from a multitude of layered glass canes. Appearing as if woven together but with such a dense appearance, they defy any logical conception as to how it came into being. Beautiful, ethereal with magical ice-like clarity. Cathryn Shilling began her arts career as a graphic designer but went on to study glass after moving to Connecticut with her family. On returning to the UK she studied kiln formed glass at Kensington and Chelsea College and blown glass with Peter Layton at the London Glassblowing Workshop. She set up her studio in London in 2007 from where she has gone on to create a huge body and variety of work. Shilling experiments with colour and technique to produce beautiful one off sculptures. Her innovative pieces push the glass beyond our usual comfort zones. With some sculptures, glass rods are woven together like fabric, mimicking the flexibility and movement of cloth. The apparent frailty of the glass is balanced by the strong dynamic forms, differing levels of light picking out layers of colour. With other works, bubbles are trapped in swathes of watery hues. Her colour palette and choice of forms are very much informed by the various natural states in which water is found: icebergs, waterfalls and whirlpools for example.
