Charlie MacPherson original art
Biography
Charlie's work expresses the simplicity, harmony and balance experienced in the Japanese architectural aesthetic. He explores the qualities of glass as a material, using components and cane inclusions to change the pieces as the spectator moves around the work. He designs and makes one-off work for interiors and galleries across Europe.
All the work is hand blown by Charlie, manipulated in its molten form before being taken through six stages of polishing. This includes cutting the piece on a diamond saw, grinding it on a flat bed, and using a cork wheel and a felt wheel to achieve a high quality polish. Finally the pieces are sand etched to achieve a frosted finish.
Charlie has undertaken a great many commissions, and has shown collections of her work nationally in Liverpool, London, Newcastle, and internationally in Leerdam (Holland), Marbella (Spain) and America.
