Paradise Amber

Paradise Amber by Amy Cushing.

A hybrid collection of glass sculptures developed as Amy’s antidote to lockdown; a way of reaching the tropics when the world came to a standstill. They evoke escapism in the form of everything exotic – flora, crystal clear water, lush foliage, feathers, etc.

Paradise are entirely handmade, a distinct combination of opal and transparent glass. The sculptures evolved as 3D paintings, the decorative finials are truly unique every time, and the overall composition changes depending on rotation.

The finials are kiln-formed by compression, cut, polished, then assembled by UV bonding, the cylinders are hand blown with a highly skilled team in the UK.

Bold, vibrant and engaging, the current collection developed for Objet d’Emotion encapsulate years of experimental studio technique; unique forms combined with bespoke glass colours, create one-off collectible pieces.
