Distorted Illusions- Katherine Huskie

Distorted Illusions, 2023 is born from wanting to step away from traditional neon lettering, this work is pushing the use of neon in a new dimension. Neon is an endangered heritage craft and Huskie is wanting to bring it back to galleries and collectors by pushing boundaries and bringing neon to life.
Within the frame there are multicoloured layers of neon and in front is a hot sculpted and fused glass tile which refracts the light and makes the viewer want to look closer. As you move around the artwork the light seems to move and dance, the more you look the more you see. The hot glass panel draws on Huskies’ personal aesthetic of repetitive patterns and texture, it is a homage to her blown glass art.
