about

'Enceladus' is a unique sculptural centrepiece by the British artist, Cathryn Shilling.

About the artwork in the artist's own words;

"This piece, which is the heaviest that I have ever made, is named for Enceladus, one of the moons of Saturn. Enceladus has a highly reflective surface due to its covering of fresh ice and snow"

Shilling experiments with layering and fusing glass to produce beautiful one-off sculptures. Her innovative pieces push the material beyond our usual comfort zones. Glass rods are woven together like fabric, mimicking the flexibility and movement of cloth. The apparent frailty of the glass is balanced by the strong dynamic forms and differing levels of light pick out the various strands making up each unique piece.

The artist can also create pieces to commission, please contact the gallery for further information.
