Nick Mount (Aus '52)
Ik werk met twee mysterieuze aardse fenomenen; vuur en glas. Om de verbinding te maken met de natuur, de mens, met het leven. Om handvatten te bieden voor de magie van het bestaan. Om, in respect en bescheidenheid de onvoorspelbaarheid en het onnavolgbare te verbeelden. Inzichten te bieden.
Nick Mount
Mount’s work is represented in major public and private collections and his reputation as a generous teacher, demonstrator and mentor sees him teaching regularly at glass centres around the world.
