CASSANDRA LAYNE<br />

Specialising in kiln formed glass, Canberra based artist, Cassandra, uses abstract carvings<br />

and patterns to demonstrate how light and surface can be manipulated to create a<br />

deception of distance, depth and size. Her works are highly textured and encourage<br />

the viewer to move in close. This is helped by the use of bold contrasting colours. The<br />

contrast plays on the eyes natural ability to sustain a consistent image. The carved<br />

imagery punches through the patterning on top giving a look of depth and layer.<br />

The glass may appear denser, further away or three-dimensional. Observing the work<br />

for an extended period of time causes the clear-cut circles to blur and the surrounding<br />

pattern to lose its stability and become more convincingly false. Only by touching the<br />

surface of the panel is the illusion completely broken and the work completes its journey<br />

into a comprehensively solid object.<br />
