Learn about the practice of Jessica Loughlin in conversation with Caitlin Eyre, JamFactory Curator and Exhibitions Manager.
Jessica Loughlin is one of Australia’s most internationally acclaimed glass artists and is renowned for her highly innovative technical approach to kilnformed glass. She creates ethereal kilnformed glass artworks that explore her fascination with the beauty of emptiness and her extensive research into light and space. She 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. A studio glass artist for over twenty-five years, Loughlin has dedicated her practice to the pursuit of capturing the transient qualities of light and the quiet sense of contemplation it provokes in the viewer.
