About this work

Selinda Davidson created this work, which is from a series of glass vessels, as part of her mentorship with South Australian glass artist Clare Belfrage in JamFactory’s glass studio. The hand-worked surfaces of the vessels feature Davidson’s highly textured linear paintings and are the culmination of her experiments and explorations into the medium of glass as a mode of cultural expression. Davidson makes design (walka) inspired by traditional mark-making and tjukurpa (ancestral stories) that for this series inform the design of each vessel.
