Project 1. "Is It Any Good?"

The piece of work that i chose to study was the 2008 glass blown sculpture by Peter Bremers, called "Antarctic Splendour - Double Graal." The "46 x 42 x 41" piece of work is seen in the Craft Arts International, issue 76 in 2009.

I like the work due to the interesting colours of turquoise, blue, green and white all en crafted in the swirled smooth texture of the sculpture. The composition of the work on its side creates a visual interest for me as it's a metaphoric symbol for the ice burgs in Antarctica, revealing their delicate beauty and rarity. The image of water and ice is clearly depicted through his contemporary reflection on the environment that inspired him and his creative approach to fine art.
