Glassworks

Harmans recent series of glassworks - positioned somewhere between painting and sculpture - often appear to have some sort of reference to the places in art history where nature and abstraction collide, such as Turner’s seascapes or Monet’s Giverny, but their origin is in the much more urban environment of 21st century Glasgow. Harman splits apart the toughened glass panels of a salvaged double-glazing unit, and pours and layers reclaimed household paints onto both of the inside surfaces. The luminous and delicate forms that result belie the ordinariness of the materials and the physically demanding process of their making.
