Rachael Durkan

Rachael’s work draws inspiration from the intricate structural patterns found in nature which govern their growth and determine their final shape. Exploring the organic shapes and patterns found in microscopic plant and tree cells, her work is formed intuitively, from many pieces of glass, repeating, expanding, to create a flowing form.

Working with Bullseye glass, colour is of importance, not only for its visual impact, but also for its metal content within the glass, adding an element of alchemy of chemical reactions within the glass fusing process.
