Jessica Loughlin creates ethereal artworks in glass that explore her
fascination with the beauty of emptiness and her extensive research
into light and space. Beginning her artistic pursuit and exploration of
the horizon line in her student years she has since dedicated her
practice to the pursuit of capturing the transient qualities of light and
the quiet sense of contemplation it provokes in the viewer.
Known for her understated aesthetic, Loughlin takes her artistic
cues from the vast, flat landscapes and salt lakes of South Australia
and is particularly drawn to the inherent quietness and stillness of the
land. In her practice, Loughlin fuses opaque and translucent glass
together in flat panels or geometric freestanding pieces that allude to
shadow, reflection and refraction. Her work is characterised by a
strict reductive sensibility and restricted use of colour with a gentle
palette of soft muted hues.
Born in Melbourne, Loughlin started her studio practice in 1998 and
quickly established herself as a distinguished member of the
upcoming generation of glass artists in the early 2000s. She has
exhibited extensively both nationally and internationally over the
course of her career. Widely celebrated for her thoughtful and
instinctual approach to kiln-formed glass, together with her
innovative technical skills with the medium, Loughlin is one of
Australia’s leading contemporary glass artists.
