Gal ia Amsel Curriculum Vitae

Working in New Zealand

“My ideas are based around capturing moments in movement and rhythm and exploring tension and balance. By working the surface textures and manipulating the use of colour, glass becomes the perfect medium for bringing my forms to life by the variety of ways it can capture and transmit light. My natural environment inspires me with the resolution of my sculptures. The work is composed mainly of glass using a variety of techniques ranging from lost wax casting to blowing. “
