GREEN

From shrink to glass heads, Durban glass artist Su’ Knight goes green.

Some fourteen years ago Su’ Knight abandoned a profession in clinical psychology to pursue her passion for glass. She moved to Durban from Johannesburg and set up Glass Studio on the Berea. Her beautiful stained glass windows and doors can be seen in many homes, complexes and churches, both locally and abroad.

Entitled Green, this is her second solo exhibition in which she has moved from analysing people’s heads to making cast glass heads. It is an exhibition of cast glass sculptures, many of them utilising an idiomatic expression, such as the cast glass head mounted on a block of wood aptly titled “head on a block”.

Taking re-cycling to a new level Su’ exhibits the results of two years of research and development. The title is so named because the cast glass sculptures are made from recycled materials such as glass, copper from old water geysers, wood from packing cases, lead, old drinking glasses, etc.

Green runs from November 28 to December 13 at Glass Studio, 564 Ridge Road, Berea. Further enquiries on 031 2071881.
