Peter William Kane (Australia)

Peter Kane

Australian-born Peter Kane glass artists and educator, works and teaches glass art techniques from Australia, Singapore, and Malaysia to Canada and the United States.

With particular dedication to the physicality of light transmission from glass and the interpretation of angles and bends, Peter’s art mirrors the edges and turns of life in each of his glass works. Whether getting together for his next gallery opening, teaching classes, or traveling to his mecca of all things glass, Langkawi, Peter regards each one as purpose to pause and contemplate for the capture of his next masterpiece.

Mirrored Palette is a play on negatives and positives within colour, the bowl is just the form that carries this palette of conflict. It purposely plays with your eyes, which makes you investigate more, and question how the same form can look so different when introduced to positive and negatives. When you really think hard about this, it is the definition of life. So Mirrored Palette, is a reflection of life in colour.
DNA Flow is a work that is meant to make us think about our building blocks that make us all up. You see the layers of colours randomly chosen, and randomly placed within the work. The length of the piece is representing a strand of DNA, with it being easy to see into the work as the satin finish is like blurred fuzzy defining lines within a DNA image.
