Lisa Samphire’s Window Murrini Series is the celebration and culmination of 35 years of training and working with handblown glass. The pieces are loose interpretations of undersea and above gardens. The decoration is fluid as if there is a current or wind present in the scene. Working in a series allows Lisa to play with form, colour and pattern using a labour intensive process.
She loves how the linear pattern informs the shape of the pieces and defines its limits. Balancing process with the aesthetics of the final piece has resulted in bright, cheery and complex works of art.
