Studio 36

Kristin McFarlane - Glass Artist / Botanical Specimens / Graphic Designer

Kristin’s practice as a glass artist focuses on incorporating imagery and botanical elements using various printing techniques. She combines sheet glass with delicate materials like botanical specimens and silver leaf to create multi-layered pieces with intricate interiors that explore themes of memory, fragility and strength.

Kristin enjoys using delicate materials to create multi-layered works with complex interiors through kiln formed glass.

Her work involves experimentation and testing and her studio is like a wunderkammer with clear containers filled with leaves, petals, seed pods, silver leaf, petrie dishes, old postcards and letters.

From the Artist

Working with glass allows the process of taking something fleeting and turning it into an object with integrity and permanence. My process is very scientific and I document all my tests for reference. Most of my work contains silver leaf and I’m currently exploring ways of casting plants in 3 dimensions.
