The Astor is excited to welcome Kristal D'Amato Art Show - Beyond The First Glance in our Upstairs Gallery for the month of October.
The camera often reveals details that disappear when we take in scenes all at once: the textures worn into driftwood by the tide, the glow of light across a shell, the reflections hidden in still water, or the unexpected arrangement of ordinary objects. These small discoveries have become the starting point for much of my work.
Curiosity leads to every piece I create. Sometimes it ends with a photograph. Sometimes that photograph becomes something entirely new - a mandala that uncovers patterns hidden within nature, or a watercolour interpretation that explores the same scene through softness, colour and emotion. Each transformation asks the same question: What else is hidden here?
Each participant will fabricate at least 4 stained-glass Xmas ornaments by fusing or kiln carving.
Activity: pick out glass, frit, cut and grind glass, cut paper and design kiln-carved and fused Xmas decorations. Finished results ready for pickup the next day after firing at SAS Glass
