Aoife Burke’s work is formed by fusing clear and coloured glass, creating and building elements that she combines to become the finished pieces. It can be a slow and delicate process, but one that allows her to explore the wonderfully expressive nature of this beautiful material. The very science of glass is fascinating – instead of colours, think metals and minerals (selenium, sulphur, copper, lead, silver, gold…), which is how colours in glass are made. Some elements react with others, and this can be used when designing in glass. That is why her logo contains a nod to the atom symbol.
