Vivienne Jagger - Glass Art

Talented Perth Glass Artist Vivienne Jagger uses many layers of glass to create interesting designs in her slumped glass shapes. Her designs take on a three dimensional appearance as you can see through the top layers to what is laying behind. Taking inspiration from the tall trees and forests from the South West of Western Australia, as well as our spectacular coast line capturing the clear blues of our ocean and the colourful coral and fish life underneath.

Vivienne Jagger - Artist Biography

From a background in industrial design, an on again, off again interest in ceramics, and a long love affair with glass objects, I began working in glass around 2007. It is a medium that never fails to surprise and excite me. The "what if" element of glass is most compelling, inviting me always to try something new. I am inspired by the landscape and the fluidity of nature. Having spent my early years in the soft grey tones of England, I feel invigorated by the clear brilliant hues which surround us in Western Australia I am particularly drawn to try to capture in my work the movement of water whether in the large swells of the ocean or the ripples in the shallows of a rock pool Vivienne Jagger
