Heike Brachlow

Heike’s often precariously balanced sculptures aim to physically engage the viewer. Colour is an important part of her work: the exploration of the interaction of colour, form and light in solid transparent glass during her PhD research has led her to produce her own glass colours, adding metal oxides to the glass batch during the melting process. This enables her to create a personal palette, which consists mostly of subtle tones and polychromatic colours that change in different types of light. Her work reflects her attraction to movement and transformation, both in colour and form.
