Tim Edwards - In between space

Jan Murphy Gallery is pleased to present 'In between space' by Adelaide-based artist Tim Edwards, his second solo exhibition with the gallery.

Edwards continues to refine his bold and distinctive glass vessels that blur the line between two-dimensional and three-dimensional forms. Compared to earlier work, in which the vessel was a more literal rendition of a drawn object, these new pieces are more ethereal and occupy a compelling liminal space.

Beginning with a daily drawing practice, Edwards sketches linear forms that evolve into vessels, after they are blown, each vessel is carved. This reductive process enables him to produce the graphic qualities that make his works so distinctive.

Edwards has been awarded multiple Australia Council grants, commissions and residencies, and has exhibited extensively in Australia and overseas.
Most recently his work has been exhibited Internationally in London, The Netherlands, Seattle and New York. In 2018 his work was shown in the Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art: 'Divided Worlds' and in 2022 he was the winner of the Tom Malone Glass Prize at the Art Gallery of Western Australia.
His work is held in major collections including the National Gallery of Australia, Art Gallery of Western Australia, National Gallery of Victoria, Art Gallery of South Australia, Museum of Glass, Tacoma, USA and Corning Museum of Glass, USA.
