Reviews
"The pair acts out a highly synchronised and intuitively timed display of glass blowing, overlaying colour with colour, stretching, moulding, twisting and shaping with charred wooden wool, turning glass at the bench and plunging the work back into the furnace."
Anne-marie Kiely, Belle Magazine.
"The Venetian-style cane glass plates tinkle gently or chime like church bells, depending upon the strength of the breeze, and Miles doesn’t mind the work titled “Reflections’ being described as ‘feminine."
Adeline Chia, The Straits Times, Singapore.
"The highly reflective surfaces of the fragile glass in Elaine's installation, evoked a sense of enlightenment or revelation, the spiritual link between history and objects. How their presence ultimately evokes a sense of memory, re-collection, reanimation of that, which will remain forever absent."
Dr Julie Clarke, Honorary Fellow, The University of Melbourne.
"The central focus pivots around glass…and philosophical content is inspired by Eastern thought and Phenomenology. "
Emeritus Prof. Bernard Hoffert.
ARTIST TEAM
Elaine Miles leads a team of some of Australia's most experienced and technically competent glass blowers.

Nick Doran-Adams and Sui Jackson work tirelessly assisting Miles in layer upon layer of coloured murrine cane making, getting ready ready to roll up into ancient forms.
