Glass Posy
Glass Posy
By artist: Sue Yule
Upcycled glass on mirror with metal frame. 50 x 50 x 5 cm
This artwork uses upcycled glass that I have cut and treated to remove sharp edges. Each flower in the posy has posy has symbolic meaning: the white rose symbolises purity, innocence and new beginnings as the glass has been given a new beginning in this piece; the irises represent faith and hope as we go forward during these uncertain times; and the orange lillies channel the personal energy and passion of the artist as she creates.
About the artist.
I am an artist based in Brisbane, Australia, where I've lived for the past 30 years. My art is informed by my indoor and outdoor environment. I have been inspired by nature and my surroundings my entire life. As a child, I would observe with great curiosity and wonder the beauty and intricacy of plants, flowers and wild life and even my grandmother's retro kitchen, embracing the dance of light bouncing around certain scenes. I enjoy exploring my neighbourhood and home, taking photos for my catalogue of inspiration and reference. I then use these snapshots of time in my studio where my concepts come to life through paint and pigment and multimedia. I’m an oil painter and I sculpt with upcycled glass. I have bipolar disorder along with fibromyalgia which is a chronic illness causing widespread pain and extreme fatigue. I create in short bursts allowing time to rest in between my art, this is why I mostly enjoy painting in oils and creating in glass as they take a long time
