Craft Victoria and Bandit Films presents the second episode "Amorphous".
This short production comes from a series of short films focusing on
individual Melbourne artists and craft makers.
Philip Stokes has owned and run his own studio since 2002 and is
currently located in the inner Melbourne suburb of Cremorne. His studio
provides hot shop and cold work access and workshops and looks to
support emerging and established glass artists and to provide a vibrant
arena for creative exchange.
"With a background in theatre I find that handling hot glass is
surprisingly similar to the stage; Spontaneity, improvisation and chance
are all elements that I enjoy and exploit, both in the making and in
the final installation.
Stimulated by the sculptural possibilities of human form and the
organisation of musculature, I hope to create dialogue between the
viscous and sinuous qualities of the glass medium.
My latest works are playful groupings excited by fire and inspired by
the dance and rhythms of life which are captured in the moment and
remain in the colours and contours of the glass forever.
Making large scale works is exactly like a choreographed dance where the
ensemble of glass artists works as one to create expressive, movement
suggestive sculptural works in hot glass."
