Elliot is a passionate experimenter who visually represents psychological concepts in his work, often adding a humorous touch. He employs precision-focused techniques in multi-component sculpture, drawing inspiration from traditional arts, including still life painting. He enjoys exploring the potential of glass to deceive and challenge viewers’ visual and tactile experiences.
Elliot Walker is a glass sculptor who discovered his passion for glass after graduating from Bangor University with a degree in psychology. The vast spectrum of colours, textures, and the material’s ability to mimic other substances provide Walker with the perfect material for creating his three-dimensional compositions and sculptures.
Walker’s work demands extreme dexterity, speed, and precise temperature control to sculpt and master the molten glass. He finds the medium both captivating and challenging, relishing the immediacy and the intense relationship involved in working with it while it is still fluid.
With his background in psychology, Walker approaches his creations from unconventional perspectives. This ability to defy convention and intentionally alter the viewer’s perception has made his works truly unique, instantly recognisable, and highly sought after. His studies in psychology continue to inform his artistry, resulting in aesthetically sensitive pieces, crafted with exceptional skill, and brought to life through a storyteller’s narrative ability.
About the artist
Elliot Walker
I am a sculptor working with molten glass as my primary medium. I studied glass making in the Historic Glass Quarter, Stourbridge, where I developed my basic skills that are the essential foundation for creating works in this challenging medium.
