Like flowers in a garden, Susan Rankin’s beautiful glass columns appear to sway in the breeze. An avid gardener, Rankin has created a series of outdoor sculptures inspired by the forms and colours found in nature. These five steel columns feature hand blown glass circular pieces in soft colours from pale yellow to amber stacked organically like flowers on a stem.“Using numerous columns to define a space, I incorporate light through the multiple transparent or opaque glass elements. Drawing on natural and abstracted forms I have created a series of work, which is harmonious and compelling through the seasons.”
