Nicole Ayliffe

"Nicole Ayliffe investigates the ability of glass to refract and reflect light by combining photographic images and drawings with specially developed glass forms. In her “optical landscape” photographic series, the landscape images are embedded into a gel medium within the glass piece which acts as a lens. In other work, Nicole draws onto the glass surface with coloured ‘stringers’, or etches designs onto the side of the piece which become ethereal visions when viewed through differing angles. These designs are etched onto the glass both through sandblasting and cutting on the lathe. " - Beaver Galleries
