Artist Statement:
I have always had a visceral connection to the natural world. It is this passion that compelled me to create Rita’s Garden. A new series of glass sculptures that I have created through this mentorship. Each delicate sculpture symbolizes the generations of my family, capturing the essence of their fleeting yet influential presence in my life. Vivid childhood memories of play and wonder in my grandmother’s garden serve as the inspiration. The botanical sculptures represent the cycle of life – growth, decay, death, and rebirth. I have sought to encapsulate the ephemeral beauty of flowers and plants through glass. The fragility of the medium echoes the delicacy of life itself. I have been exploring the inevitable withering of once-vibrant blooms, evoking the passage of time.This new body of work signifies an exciting creative evolution. After 15 years as a contemporary glass jewellery artist, this larger scale work has fuelled my further creative curiosity to work in a new way with my medium..– Nadia Tasci
