Jo Tricker fuses art and science. Working with kiln-formed and torch-shaped glass, her sculptural practice explores themes of social anthropology: the myths, languages, and beliefs that connect human beings. Her work explores with the tension and beauty found in glass itself: transparency and opacity, softness and hardness, fragility and strength.
Visitors to her Tauriko studio will discover a vibrant space dedicated to glass. From shaped solid forms to delicate sculptures, Jo’s work is visually captivating. Over the Open Studios weekend, she’ll be demonstrating her technique, glass lacemaking, for the first time, offering an up-close look at this delicate and mesmerising process.
There will also be the chance to participate in a raffle-based glass art project, where the winning ticket holders take home a one-of-a-kind glass tile.
