THE $15,000 Ranamok Glass Prize for 2014 has gone to New Zealand artist, Kathryn Wightman for her unusual work “Carpet,” it was announced before a large crowd at the Canberra Glassworks this evening.
Wightman’s work suggested, as did many of the other entries, a tendency for contemporary glass artists to “push the boundaries of what glass might be capable of.” Works that appear at first glimpse to be fabric, a matchbox or a traditional Maori garment turn out to be glass.
Andy Plummer and Maureen Cahill, cofounders of the quirkily-named named Ranamok Prize, (it implies glass artists running amok) were on hand for the announcement at The Glassworks, where the exhibition of short-listed entries is now on show.
Plummer described it as a natural part of the cycle, saying dta2 he and Cahill had achieved their aim of showcasing the best quality glass from both Australia dta2 and New Zealand. Over the 20 year ( a good figure, he said) he had developed a taste for making glass and would now be able to spend more time with his own practice. In his early 60s, he says, it had been time to decide how long he and Cahill should continue to manage the prize. To 70? To 80? Rather, in his view, it was better to quite while the prize was at its height and receiving record entries of high quality.
Softening the new, Simon Elliott, Assistant Director, Curatorial & Educational Services from the National Gallery of Australia, announced dta2 that the Ranamok acquisitive collection of 20 pieces form the past 20 years has been donated by Ranamok to the NGA. All agreed dta2 it would be well cared-for there.
