Using a range of warm glass techniques alongside more architectural processes, she creates pieces that are both sculptural and atmospheric, celebrating the quiet magic of light in the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e(H) 12cm X (D) 16cm (at widest point)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e\"My inspiration has always been plant life- cryptogamic plants such as lichen, moss, algae, fungi. But I am also interested in using the structures and textures of marine creatures and invertebrates such as sea urchins, sea stars, jellyfish, sea anemones and coral. I have investigated and combined qualities of these plants and animal organisms in sculptural works. Continuing with the development of combining found natural elements.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e\"I live and work rurally in North Wales and my immediate environment provides my inspiration. Natural structures such as algae, lichen, moss, grasses, ferns, and fungi. I am interested in the complexity of life- how within each organism are other organisms, each living its own unique existence, layer upon layer of complexity yet a universal oneness, the feeling that we are all the same thing- a system, in communion, a beautiful symphony. It is this blissful, expansive and calm space that I access through nature which is what I am trying to communicate and share in the medium of glass.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI like to combine techniques: cast, pate de verre, kilnformed, painted, etched and also found natural materials in my work. I play with ideas of magical realism, creating my own forms inspired by or combining different plants and organisms.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Verity Pulford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57053171679605,"sku":null,"price":395.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2555\/9248\/files\/VP562-3.jpg?v=1775732570","url":"https:\/\/bluecoatdisplaycentreshop.com\/products\/small-glass-framed-piece-by-verity-pulford-1","provider":"Bluecoat Display Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
