Jessica Loughlin creates ethereal kiln-formed glass works that explore her fascination with the beauty of emptiness and her extensive research into light and space.
Inspired by the vast, flat landscapes and rarely filled salt lakes of South Australia, which seemingly fuse land and sky as one infinite plain, Loughlin fuses opaque and translucent glass sheets that allude to shadow, reflection, and refraction. A strict reductive sensibility and restricted use of colour, with a gentle palette of soft muted hues and the mirage motif, frequently reoccur across her practice.
