Gallery of SPS member work » Lisa Sheppy
Lisa Sheppy is currently involved with a series of work inspired by the collection at the Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth, Yorkshire, where she spent time making drawings and visual research based on personal items and the novels of Charlotte Brontë. The act of drawing was important in establishing a relationship with the delicate, fragile and faded objects and she felt compelled to use this experience in a new series of work
Fused glass with enamel screen printing immediately felt to be a natural way of working for Lisa. Her palette of inspiring materials includes copper, gold and silver leaf with the enamel print process.
Lisa Sheppy’s use of a collage process has been on-going for some time, with her previous use of ‘chine-colle’ and monoprinting techniques. The methodology allows for a fluid, intuitive exploration of image, texture and colour which only reaches a static conclusion once the work is fired. While each piece of glass exists on its own as a separate environment, it is also grouped together to form a dialogue and ‘vignette’
'Charlotte's Dress' is constructed from 39 individual glass pieces, marking every year of Charlotte Brontë's short life and is mounted on a steel cage dress frame. The piece has been selected for the British Glass Biennale in August 2010, part of 'International Festival of Glass'. www.biennale.org.uk/.
'The Empty Dress' series will be on show at the Brontë Parsonage Museum in October/November 2010.
