The Light Fantastic represents the work of 12 leading contemporary Irish glass artists and highlights the importance of traditional stained, painted, and etched glass in Ireland. Initially on view at the Crafts Council of Ireland, this exhibition is the first to feature secular, free-standing, portable glass panels.
Careful observation of each piece reveals how differently each artist's has treated the glass. Methods for surface treatments range from painted to barely marked, stippled, enameled, sandblasted, or acid-etched. The works show how important the very nature of each piece of glass is in transmitting the images and concepts each designer suggests. Features such as tiny air bubbles, streaks, wisps of silver wire, brush strokes, and the modulation of tones and depths can all affect the perception of the inner world conjured before us.
