About the Item

'Trappist-1e' is a unique glass artwork from the Quiescent Collection by the British artist, Peter Bowles. As explained by the artist: "Quiescent Objects are a new series of works that consider stillness as a physical and perceptual condition rather than a symbolic one. The work engages moments in which gravity, energy, and time are brought into equilibrium. Form is treated not as expression or narrative, but as a resolved state in which motion has ceased and energy remains held. The objects invite sustained attention, allowing stillness to register through gradual shifts in light, depth, and transitions in transparency, translucency and opacity. Each work is titled after a discovered exoplanet, astronomical bodies known not through direct image but through their influence on surrounding light and matter. This naming structure aligns the behaviour of glass with larger physical systems, linking micro scale material chemistry to macro scale galactic equilibrium. Quiescent Objects position glass as a medium capable of holding both material precision and expansive scale, where presence is sensed gradually and form exists in a state of quiet resolution. The works are realised in personally formulated neodymium and cobalt tinted striking phosphate opal glass. Through careful control of chemical composition and temperature control whilst making, translucency and opacity are calibrated to hold and diffuse light rather than reflect it. Depth is generated materially, emerging from internal structure rather than surface articulation. Each form is blown, outside cased, then cut, ground, and hand pumice finished." Initially studying glass at Stourbridge College of Art and Design, Peter Bowles went on to work with some of the most established studio glass artists in the UK before spending a further 10 years travelling as a journeying glassmaker throughout Denmark, Sweden, France and Italy. Settling in Australia, Bowles set up his own studio ‘Glass Manifesto’ with his partner Anne Clifton in Northern Tasmania. A quiet maker and passionate teacher, Bowles work spans studio production, exhibition work, public art and what he calls ‘a somewhat more private sculptural practice’. He has garnered an international reputation for his technical mastery and inventive approach to the art of glassmaking. In the artist’s own words; “My work as a glassmaker is guided by a deep regard for materials, process and a history of glassmaking that has shaped our understanding of this most complex material. I’m intrigued by the relationship between available technology, human dexterity and practical ingenuity. I’m interested in how these factors interplay as critical aspects of the evolution of contemporary craft and object making.” Bowles was recently awarded the Premiers’ Award for Excellence in Contemporary Craft and has been a finalist in all the major Australian glass prizes including the Tom Malone Prize, Ranamok Glass Prize, Juta Cuny Franz Award and the City of Hobart Art Prize for glass. He has served on numerous boards and peer review panels including the Dept of Cultural affairs, (WA), Ausglass, Arts Tasmania and has been a member of the Australia Council Visual Arts Board. His international engagement with contemporary studio glass has seen him exhibit and lecture at numerous institutions throughout the world including the Alberta College of Art and Design, Canada, The China Academy of Art, Hangzhou, China and BGC Glass Studio, Bangkok, Thailand, as well as in the US, Korea and Australia.
