Lynda Tobin-Howes
Statement
The main body of my work is made from recycled glass. I use the reflective and light transmitting qualities of glass. Transparency allows light to travel through in different ways. When a piece of work is displayed outside, attention is drawn to the limitlessness of space. When the work is hung inside, emphasis is placed on creating an illusion of space. When glass is used it is almost a living organism, reacting to light and to surrounding colour and shape. The pieces I create can be used indoors or outdoors. It would give a strong architectural presence, in an appartment, hotel, hospital, school or commercial building.
My technique is not as complicated as it may appear. The image is carried on glass in exactly the same way as on canvas, paper or wood. The synergy of paint and glass has a depth and transparency unlike any other medium. Painting on glass is time-consuming and a beautiful craft.
