Becca will be exhibiting with wocART at West Oxford Community Centre in Botley this year. Her work will be available to see every day between 11th and 19th May from 11am to 6pm each day (11am- 8pm on Thursday).
Becca has been an admirer of kiln-formed, or fused, glass for over 20 years. Aesthetically it’s vibrant, loaded with colour but with a simplicity that masks the complexity of the process. Having taken glass-fusing courses over several years, Becca bought her own kiln and set up a studio in late 2019, and has been experimenting ever since.
Her fused glass art reflects her analytical approach, fascination with straight lines and a desire to tame the tendency of hot flowing glass to subvert her best intentions. Pattern and structure are important features, along with the reactions made possible when the various chemical elements within different colours of glass interact.
Her current work takes inspiration from contemporary textile artists and, specifically, Angie Parker, the Bristol-based weaver. She has also been working with patterns that occur in science and maths with the non-repeating patterns of Penrose tiling and patterns of gel DNA electrophoresis coming to the fore in some of her recent work.
