Christine Cholewa
I make objects from glass. I appreciate clean lines,
simple forms, minimal art aesthetic, repetition, balance
and pattern. These are all sources of inspiration for
my work.
I am interested in using the surface of the glass as
a blank piece of paper. It opens up endless possibilities
of combining imagery with the form, and creating pattern.
I hope my work can be a variety of things from humorous,
to quiet or shocking, to soothing or striking.

Lisa
Cerny I think of my artistic practice as having
two distinct focuses. Foremost , is my role as a creator
and artist, and secondly is my involvement with teaching.
Both endeavours intertwine to inform, and perhaps even
validate the other, and I am becoming equally committed
to the creative processes which, though different for
each, challenge me to consider the ways in which I communicate. |
