Emily McIntosh
Memento Clear Cell - contemporary modern abstract glass sculpture

2008

About the Item

Memento Clear Cell is a unique contemporary modern glass object made by Australian glass artist Emily McIntosh. This sculpture is made up of three blown clear glass components, small, medium and large, that are all lathe worked with a brushed translucent finish. The artist has been pursuing themes of touch as human memory through marking the glass skin. Her sculpture is focused upon surface finishes that amplify translucency, shadow & the reflection of light within the glass creating impressions of fragility & the suggestion of vulnerability. They are reminiscent of time capsules or cells capable of holding onto transient thoughts and memories, these structures are intended to preserve and protect one’s precious ephemeral recollections that through time may otherwise become forgotten. Emily McIntosh (1978, Australia) graduated with a MA in Fine Art and earlier with a BA First Class Honours in Fine Arts in Ceramic Design - Glass from the Monash Unversity in Caulfield. After her study she spent several months in Japan at the Ezra Glass Studio working with renowned glass artist Hiroshi Yamano, also creating and exhibiting her own work. Following her stay in Japan she travelled to Europe and the USA before returning to Australia to undertake a residency at the Sydney College of Arts. Later she also studied at the Pilchuck Glass School in the USA. The blown and cold worked glass objects that she creates are very conceptual in their nature and oscillate around ideas of memory, preservation and both psychological and physical aspects of the human condition. Emily McIntosh was a Ranamok Glass Prize finalist in 2008 and in 2010 she was a John Fries Memorial Prize finalist. Her work has been exhibited worldwide and is part of private and museum collections in Australia, Europe and the USA.

    This beautiful burnt orange vessel in blown glass takes its organic shape and wild patterns from nature. Canadian artist Susan Rankin finds inspiration in the ever-changing colours and forms in the garden she tends to all summer. “With this new series of blown vessels I am working with more transparent translucent colours, shards, glass threads and thread drawing. The resulting pieces have a history/story built into the surface, which encompass the optic qualities of glass and light.” Susan Rankin She graduated with honors from Sheridan College, Oakville Ontario, in 1989 and received a three-year artist in residency at the Harbourfront Centre glass studio.
