Charles Butcher set himself the challenge of using primary geometric shapes as forms to express his ideas. He also explores the boundaries and technical constraints inherent in making large-scale cast glass works. His minimal, abstract forms express the contrasting qualities of simplicity, strength and luminosity.

The extraordinary installation Flow (2008) by Brian Corr floats across the vast expanse of the National Art Glass Gallery window. In essence, the work is a visual metaphor for breathing and depicts the cycle of breath. This sublimely minimalist installation, as well as some smaller pieces, evoke an overall sense of quietude and meditation.

intrinsic elements will be officially launched on Friday, 9 May at 6:00pm by Margot Osborne, independent curator and writer.
