TOM MALONE 2020 PRIZE SHORTLIST
The Tom Malone Prize is a highly respected national event within the Australian glass arts community and it has played an integral role in the Gallery's acquisition of works by Australia's most inspiring, innovative and accomplished artists working in this art form.
Jarred's entry features hand blown smokey black glass and silver nitrate mirroring to create a mirrored glass form of the Rorschach Inkblot Test allowing each viewer to project and re-interpret the pattern of the forms they see.
The fifteen shortlisted works demonstrate how our nation’s glass artists continue to invent and reinvent, to challenge themselves technically, and to find new frameworks to distil human experience in accessible and enlivening ways.
