 phie Longwill
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nOctober 2021\n\nPart of the Liverpool Irish Festival 2021
 \n\n\n“The experiences of the pandemic and desire for breathing space ha
 s become reflected in my current series ‘Nubivagant (Cloud Wanderer)’.
  These sculptural glass vessels are inspired by beautiful skies and mindfu
 l moments on my lockdown walks. As I live in the city centre of Cork\, the
  sky is a way to connect with nature in an urban environment. Soft colours
  are translated into delicate discs of pâte-de-verre (glass paste) then a
 llowed to gently fold in the kiln\, resulting in vessels that are like win
 dows to other realms holding the serenity of the natural world.\n\nAs I de
 veloped the series\, sharing with friends and family the images of the wor
 k forming\, a beautiful exchange began to happen. People began to send me 
 pictures of their skies\, from all around the world. The most frequent con
 tributor was my sister\, who lives in Liverpool. Every week we send each o
 ther pictures of our ‘sister skies’. As I work with the glass\, I blen
 d my impressions of our exchanged moments into these vessels so that they 
 become a way to express our stories and all the feelings from this time th
 at we cannot find the words for\, the love and the longing. In everything 
 I make I am trying to capture a sense of wonder\, to transpose transient a
 nd intangible moments into visible form. The delicate fragility inherent i
 n glass as a material accentuates the impression of ephemerality and preci
 ousness.”\n\n\n– Sophie Longwill\n\nSophie lives in Cork City\, Irela
 nd and works from her studio at the National Sculpture Factory.\n\n\n\n\n\
