JOHN WHITE<br />
John White is an artist whose interests are infused by discovery and invention that<br />
has shaped and influenced our world throughout history. He likens this diverse<br />
subject matter to how his life has taken many paths through achievements in skilledbased<br />
trades, and his practice is connected to the relationship between the artisan<br />
and tools of their trade and practices.<br />
John has been a practicing craftsperson since undertaking an apprenticeship in<br />
furniture making in the early 1980’s. He completed a Bachelor of Arts with Honours,<br />
majoring in glass, at the Australian National University.<br />
He has received high recognition and acclaims for his artwork, exhibiting his first<br />
solo exhibition at the Toyama Museum of Glass, Japan 2016 and a solo exhibition<br />
at Sabbia Gallery in 2017. His work is held in the Wagga Wagga National Art Glass<br />
collection, and he has successfully exhibited around Australia.<br />
‘Stylus’is a continuation in the series of works exploring my family’s dialogue with print.<br />
It is a celebration of innovation, the rising of potential creation and my own sculptural<br />
evolution. This piece suggests a playful and joyful reminder of the simplicity of drawing,<br />
which at its essence is an extension of hand and mind. ‘Stylus’ is a rudimentary tool<br />
employed and adapted to a multitudeof variations, its functionality embedded in our<br />
society as an extension of our selves.<br />
