This exhibition combines glass and design to create inspired outcomes.
In recent years, the development of the glass design sector has opened up new and exciting opportunities for glass as a contemporary architectural element. Advancements in glass techniques and education have empowered a new generation of designers and makers to push the boundaries of this material, crafting the glass of the future.
Inspired Perspectives exhibits the collaborations between design professionals, creatives and glass makers with existing work as well as imagined installations, illustrating the possibilities of architectural glass to transform and enhance the built environment.
Participants
Nadine Keegan
Nadine Keegan’s stained glass is an evolving artistic project which explores the role of the craftsperson in telling the stories of who we are. Through both commissioned projects and studio work, Nadine examines the fertile intersections of tradition, craft, art, architecture and nature.
Eloise McCullough
Eloise has a background in graphic design and experience in the architecture and interior design industry and views her practice through a contemporary lens. She is drawn to creating statement pieces that are layered with texture and eclectic colour palettes, and that break the traditional conventions of leadlight. Eloise was named as a finalist in Australian Design Review's 30Under30 2024/2025 program.
Peter Malatt
Peter Malatt is a founding member of Six Degrees Architects, established in 1992. One of the key design elements of Six Degrees work is specialist design glass, principally leadlight. Peter is an enthusiastic contributor to education, industry panels and the Australian Institute of Architects (AIA). He has served on a range of Victorian AIA awards juries, and the 2009 National AIA awards jury. In 2012 he was admitted as a fellow of the AIA and in 2013 elected to National Council. In 2014-15 he served as President of the Victorian Chapter of the AIA.
Geoffrey Wallace
Geoffrey Wallace is a master stained glass artist. In 2018 after a distinguished 45 year career as a stained glass conservator, restoring some of Australia's most important heritage windows, Geoffrey retired from practical conservation work to concentrate solely on the creation of new windows. Being well skilled in all the traditional techniques of stained glass he is now in high demand to create traditional windows for churches as well as cutting edge installations for public and private buildings.
Rickie Martin
Rickie Martin is a Yorta Yorta and Pairrebeenne /Trawlwoolway clan man who started drawing and painting at the age of three under the guidance of his grandmother in Parkes, NSW. He has continued to explore other mediums and create constantly since then. Rickie now lives in Melbourne, and in 2022 discovered glass in the Glaas Inc First Nations Glass Workshop Program. He then went on to complete the Certificate III in Designed Glazing and has recently completed the Certificate IV. In 2024 Rickie was awarded the Melbourne Polytechnic Indigenous Student of the Year Award for his dedication and excellence. In a very short time since learning glass art techniques Rickie has progressed to a very high level of creating glass art infused with his culture. Rickie has completed a piece of public art which will be unveiled at Melbourne Polytechnic's Collingwood campus in the next few months, and is currently working on a major installation in glass.
