Metameric Vessels

The New Craftsmen is excited to present a colourful new collection of works by glass artist Edmond Byrne at their Spring pop-up in Barnes. In this jewel-coloured series, Edmond continues to examine the metameric phenomenon; when two individual colours appear indistinguishable to the human eye, their difference is revealed with a change in ambient light.

Edmond Byrne is a glass artist and educator with an experimental approach to process and making that explores tactility, colour psychology, sustainability, and digital craft. His work is exhibited internationally and is included in the V&A Museum, Ulster Museum and The National Collection, Ireland. He has received prestigious awards including the RDS Irish Craft Award, the Dan Klein Memorial Award, and the Pilchuck Partner Scholarship.

PROCESS

Edmond Byrne creates each mould using materials like clay, fabric and plaster that introduce unpredictable, unique elements to each piece. Once blown, a crackled, clay patina is left behind on the glass’ surface evoking ancient glass artefacts. Edmond’s approach to craft is experimental. The themes of assembly, stacking and play run consistently throughout his practice, and he works with a library of textures and forms to achieve his exquisite final pieces.
