TOTAL IRREVERENCE II
Signed by the artist
Description
Elliot Walker's Total Irreverence series explores the tension between technical mastery and the functional value in glassmaking. Inspired by Venetian goblets, these pieces demand exceptional skill to create, yet Walker deliberately destroys their functionality. By transforming refined drinking vessels, one of humanity's oldest inventions, into non-functional forms, he elevates them from practical objects to theoretical art. The perceived violence in this transformation represents a rejection of traditional glassmaking dogma. Total Irreverence challenges the historical link between glass and function, inviting viewers to reconsider the relationship between craftsmanship, purpose, and artistic expression.
Hotsculpted glass with hand forged bronze nail by Sam Ritte and stainless steel shelf
£22,000 for installation (x4 sets of 3 goblets) | £6,000 for a set of 3
