about
‘Cameo Vase No 39' is a unique glass vase by the British artist, Sarah Wiberley.
The ‘Cameo Series’ was inspired by investigating the ornament & traditions of English 19th century cameo glass. By bringing contemporary style to the traditions of glassblowing used in the making of her hand made vessels, Wiberley introduces a fresh approach to the concept of embellishment, decoration and ornament.
In the artist’s own words:
'Decoration and ornament have long been disregarded and seen as superfluous to function. Downgraded from a definition of luxury, ornament is often treated with suspicion, it’s intention to deceive. Adverse to this view, ornament is also a strong and effective conveyor of history, tradition, and culture’
The artist can also create pieces to commission, please contact the gallery for further information.
