The Emperor of Ice Cream, 2003, Ruth Dupre

Suspended Animation, 1 May - 11 July 2010

Angela Jarman, Ruth Dupre, Rachael Woodman, Joseph Harrington, Stuart Akroyd, Gillies Jones

Suspended Animation is a bold and dynamic exhibition of contemporary studio glass, exploring both physical and emotional responses to organic states. Inspired by the natural world, the work featured explores the cycle of growth, reproduction and decay, stillness, movement, permanence and transience through a variety of diverse approaches and techniques. A series of exciting contrasts is designed to stir the senses and engage the imagination.

The glass artists participating in this exhibition are highly respected makers in their field. Examples of their work are rarely seen outside specialist galleries.
