Colourful landscapes
- • Edmond plays with colour and texture
- • He combines tradition with contemporary ideas
- • He won the 2018 RDS Irish Craft Bursary
Researching colour in glass, Edmond Byrne noticed an illusion. When nuanced hues were combined with tertiary colours, the hue would not be immediately apparent. Only gradually as the eye adjusts and compares is the hue revealed, bringing forth a subtle symphony of interactions and realisations to be discovered and contemplated. A call and response between mind and eye. In his work, Edmond searches for a sense of full and perfect resolution - a point of completeness. He is fascinated by the aura of the object and how we respond to it. His work demands time and patience but rewards by resonating on an emotional level. As a maker, his satisfaction comes both from the journey of creation and the final outcome.

Metameric Cylinder
The Metameric Cylinder glass vessel was mould blown with Kaolin Patina. It forms part of a series where each piece is blown into a unique mould made from various materials such as fabric, plaster, and clay. Upon creation, the moulds perish and are therefore for single use only.
