Sculpture

created by Elizabeth Lyons


I am interested in the primal relationships of fire-molten glass, metal, sand-earth, and wood; constructing a parallel between process and material object. Each piece takes on its own qualities of light, texture, and form; defining space and a sense of age and time. Contrasting blown and cast-glass forms with steel, cement, paint, and found objects, broadens the vocabulary. The use of glass in my work goes beyond the beauty of the material to emphasize the rawness of its most basic states: hot, cool, and cold. This elemental quality is inherent to the material and fundamental to how I use it.
