’Blanche Tilden: Making Memories and Meaning in Glass'
Art Monthly Australasia

Glass remains an almost magical substance for Blanche Tilden, with its materiality, history, meaning and metaphoric capacity ripe for endless transformation and conceptual and creative possibilities. From her signature works based on the mechanism of the bike chain to her recent necklaces comprised of found and repurposed camera lenses, Tilden demonstrates her extraordinary ability to take objects from one context and set them in another, creating new associations for herself as maker, for the wearer of her jewellery, and for those who experience it as an observer on another’s body.
