Exhibition Information
Charlie Murphy ‘Retort’
Mon 11th March to Sat 16th March 2013
Charlie Murphy has worked with glass for over fifteen years;
employing many of its different qualities through casting, blowing
and lampworking towards touring and permanent exhibitions.
This new exhibition for The Black Swan presents a selection of
installation and wall mounted works inspired by the scientific
glassmaking techniques showcased in the video ‘Retort (turning
circles) 2011’ which is on loan from The Wellcome Trust.
Drawing out some of the emotional dimensions of this extraordinary
material, Murphy has created her own interpretations of anatomical
and botanical illustrations and re-configured a range of scientific
and medical glass-ware.
