Press Release

The sensitive works of Australian artist Karen Carey reflect her bond to the fragile medium of glass from which she creates graceful sculptures of torsos. The figures she fashions from this noble material possess an opacity and coloring that give them a quality of time-aged Phoenician amphora buried in the sands of time for a thousand years. They speak to us again through Carey’s delicate glass sculptures, colored in soft tones of amber and sienna streaked with white. Her respect for the challenges of the medium and her innovative use of structure and form instills in the viewer an awareness of the ancient and contemporary culture of glass. Her mastery of this technically challenging material permeates all aspects of her art. Carey’s series of acrylics on canvas entitled Breathe is a translucent, amorphous depiction of sea and clouds depicted in delicate hues of blues and whites, with hints of ochre sand, as though the majestic elements themselves were no more than un-blown glass in its raw state. Karen Carey holds a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from Curtin University and has won awards for her art in her native Australia.
