SELEZIONE NATURALE

Tolly Nason shows off her skills in a number of different glass disciplines. Entitled natural selection, this new exhibition at Adam Aaronson’s Zest demonstrates Tolly’s fascination with nature, survival and extinction. The show features a selection of Pate de Vere, cast and combinations of the two in simple and intricate forms. Diverse, one can find Dodo beaks, aquatic coral enemies and awesome huge back-lit Finch beaks. The show runs from 22 July – 3 September. Nearest tube stop Earls Court

RETROSPETTIVO

Visiting the monumental Collect in May I chanced upon a few pieces of blown glass that stopped me. I managed to purchase this incredible book detailing the extensive back log of work by Japanese born and Venetian resident Ritsue Mishima – Stupendous.
