About the Item
Nina Casson McGarva's green and white glass abstract tabletop sculpture "Foliage," finds inspiration from nature.
Casson McGarva's singular technique involves a multi-step process. She starts with a single shape, which she then repeats in a wax mold, creating a textured pattern. The next step is to pour a handmade mixture of plaster/silica on top of the wax. This is put in the kiln to harden the mold and steam the wax out. Then she casts glass in the mold and then separates the fused glass from the mold. She then has just moments to shape the hot glass, creating movement and an organic aesthetic before it cools. When the glass transforms to a solid, the piece is finished. Contrast in translucency and texture enrich the natural glass qualities.
Nina Casson McGarva’s glassworks seem to move in their stillness. Her glass-making process mirrors nature’s cycles: the material is at its most alive when it’s hot and being transformed. Then it becomes solid and still. Surrounded by nature in her upbringing in rural France and current surroundings in Gloucestershire, England, Casson McGarva brings nature to life in her art.
The starting point in Casson McGarva’s work is nature. Her inspiration comes from plants, insects, nests, and animals. She takes a detail of an element she finds in nature and uses it as an inspirational base to create her own abstraction that then builds into a complex sculpture with structures that reflect elements such as dry leaves, feathers, or seashells.
Casson McGarva associates cycles of nature with the glass-making process because the material is at its most alive when it’s hot and being transformed. Then it becomes solid and doesn’t move any longer; it is at the fragile time before disintegration yet maintains a dynamic form.
