RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
This presentation introduces Glass Manifesto, featuring the collaborative practice of Peter Bowles and Anne Clifton. Through PowerPoint, video, and a tactile box of show-and-tell objects, audiences explore their studio gallery, creative processes, and material research. The lecture offered insight into how their partnership shapes contemporary glass art and exhibition making. It revealed the evolution of ideas from studio to audience.
Anne Clifton is an Australian glass artist, researcher, and presenter whose materially driven practice explores materiality, relationship, colour and form. She is the only Tasmanian maker represented in the permanent collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, in London, UK. Working closely with Peter Bowles, she co-founded Glass Manifesto, which is internationally recognised for innovation in contemporary glass practice and research.
