Meet Hanne Enemark & Louis Thompson

Having studied together at the Royal College of Art, Hanne Enemark and Louis Thompson quickly recognised their collaborative potential. Their recent projects - Banyan, Ore, Penumbra and Karman - demonstrate the potential of two leading glass artists and combine immense skill and creativity. Featured in public collections worldwide, their works explore the tension between chaos and order, fragility and strength, internal structure and external form.

“Our intrigue lies in how these intricate and fragile internal structures contradict the calm surface encapsulating this magical, energetic inner world,” they explain.

Their large-scale, elegant sculptures demand an intuitive, collaborative and performative approach to making, resulting in a dramatic glassblowing spectacle. Real magic occurs as they execute the seemingly impossible feat of placing strands within the hot glass, an action-packed process of astounding complexity and skill, culminating in bold and beautiful works.
