From Antiquity to the Inevitable

This exhibition showcases some of the more iconic works made in Wales and shown throughout Europe over the last ten years.

Ranging from small and intimate amphoras to large compositions up to twenty meters in length, these installations have celebrated themes from antiquity on the one hand to the quirky, unpredictable, and more mysterious realities of our own times, connecting both to the past and an unfathomable future. Whether thinking upon the rational or the intuitive, they have relished the opportunity to tie their love of blown glass and their quite formal relationship to it with expressions involving our relationship to the cosmos as well as with what’s inside our own heads. Each individual piece or assemblage of pieces may stand alone, but they also cohere in a story connecting humanity to its foibles, aspirations and questions about our place in the universe.
