I Forgot My Keys, So I Climbed Through The Window

Craft
Tuesday 10 DecemberSaturday 18 January

I Forgot My Keys, So I Climbed Through The Window is an exploration of the relationship between materials and the meanings we imbue them with. Metal-smithing and glass blowing are used as processes which explore themes that include portals, ritual and alchemy.

This series comprises of hybrid organic forms, crafted with metal and glass, that evoke dualities such as pleasure and discomfort, or containment and release. Each piece serves as a container of stories, emotion and memory, where expanding bubbles of glass push against the constraints of forged metal. Through these material dynamics, the forms embody the tensions and contradictions inherent in the human experience.

Laura de Carteret is a French-Australian artist based in Naarm (Melbourne). They work as both a glass blower and metal-smith. Their practice places pleasure and discomfort in dialogue generating visceral and seductive forms. They are recognised for an intuitive approach to materials, creating biomorphic artefacts that are otherworldly. Laura holds a Bachelor of Fine Art (Gold and Silversmithing) from RMIT.

Rebecca Hall writes “In fleshing out the idea with the material, the process of making is bodily. Laura de Carteret’s glass objects calls our attention to this detail. The lifelike forms remind us of the act of glassblowing, the laborious process of producing; the reason that we refer to pieces of art as works."
