In this latest body of work Ashraf Hanna revisits some of the forms that inspired the glass work he created while he was at the RA (shown in images). In the kiln cast glass forms he exaggerated some aspects of the geometric forms to exploit the material qualities of glass, and the interplay between light and colour as it travels through various densities.
Ashraf’s interest is still to explore the relationship between contrasting lines as vessels softly emerge from clearly defined geometric shapes. But now the exaggerated forms in glass are beginning to inform these new ceramic works.
