In September Masterworks Gallery will be exhibiting a new body of work by Australian glass artist Tom Moore.

Moore, well known for his quirky creatures and ability to transform whole galleries into weird and wonderful dioramas, is a highly skilled glass artist. The playful nature of his work both emphasises and contrasts with the complex glass techniques used in its creation.

Moore writes: ‘I try to give glass forms a fresh persona while working within a lovely old tradition. I want work to be surprising and amusing. I play with arrangements of characters to create narratives with an emphasis on the absurd, striving to achieve an agreeable mischief and sorrow.’

Preview: Wednesday 17 September from 5.30pm.
