Jacqui Ridley
My passion is glass. Glass is unique and
interesting both technically and artistically. The richness,
luminescence and depth of glass allows me to express my creativity in
its purest form. I am influenced by contemporary quilters and
embroiderers. I use tiny bugle beads to outline most of my compositions
to create a stitch like look to my mosaics. Combining glass with other
materials I can create different patterns and textures making intricate
jewel-like mosaics.
It is my intention in a finished piece to show the glow and glistening
of color in which light can dance off the mosaic. To capture the sparkle
I use a blend of crushed glass, sand, glass glitter and micro beads
instead of traditional grout.
