For over a decade contemporary glass artist, Edmond Byrne has collected various off-cuts from his
exquisite handblown glass, pieces that had some kind of resonance - a
uniqueness of colour, shape, or patina - setting them aside for future
reconsideration. The Ensemble Collection is a sculptural body of work
borne out of these severed discards. Each unique piece has the DNA of
the work they played an essential role in creating and, in their current
composition, form a vehicle for Edmond to explore an alternative
language of form and colour interplay in a search for a more sustainable
way of making.
