JAMFACTORY ICON 2022 JESSICA LOUGHLIN: OF LIGHT 15 July - 18 September 2022

JamFactory’s annual ICON exhibitions celebrate the achievements of South Australia’s most influential visual artists working in craft-based media. Jessica Loughlin is one of Australia’s leading most internationally acclaimed glass artists. A studio glass artist for over twenty-five years, Loughlin creates ethereal kiln formed glass works that explore her fascination with the beauty of emptiness and her extensive research into light and space. Known for her understated aesthetic, Loughlin takes her artistic cues from the vast, flat landscapes and salt lakes of South Australia and is particularly drawn to the inherent quietness and stillness of the land.

DREW SPANGENBERG: DEPARTURE TO GRACELAND 15 July - 18 September 2022

Adelaide-based glass artist Drew Spangenberg creates stand-alone pieces with practical possibilities. In Departure to Graceland he is inspired by the colours and forms of the Italian design and architecture collective known as The Memphis Group, founded by Ettore Sottsass in 1981. As a musician, Spangenberg feels a connection between playing music and the rhythm and coordination required in the glass blowing process. He arranges glass vessels into complementary compositions as he would a piece of music.In this exhibition he juxtaposes softer transparent works with the radical, funny and outrageous style of Memphis.

NASCENT GLASS 15 July - 14 August 2022

Exhibitions presented as part of the 2022 SALA Festival and the United Nations International Year of Glass.
