Description

Harry Morgan - "Untitled HM029" sculpture in glass and concrete
Unique piece, handmade by the artist himself
H 40 x L 12 x P 12 cm / H 16 x W 5 x D 5 in
The use of glass in my work draws inspiration from the ancient Venetian glassblowing technique, murrine; where each rod or thread of glass is individually pulled by hand from a furnace. The glass is then arranged into a sequential structure and cast within concrete or precious metal, which binds them as one object. Im interested in applying these traditional skills in alternative directions.”

Harry Morgan has won several awards including the Award for Emerging Talent at the 2015 British Glass Biennale and an Inches Carr Graduate Craft Award at the 2016 Scottish Craft Awards. In 2019, he was among the 29 artists shortlisted for the 2019 edition of the Loewe Craft Prize, for which he was awarded an honorary mention and €5,000.
