Vanessa Cutler

Vanessa has recently returning to full time making after a number of years in Higher Education. An artist, educator and consultant in waterjet for both creative and industrial sectors, she has helped numerous artists apply the technology into their work. In 2012 her book ‘New Technologies In Glass” was published by Bloomsbury. She continues to exhibit her Internationally and write about art and its interface with industrial technology.
The work is concerned with pushing the parameters of water jet cutting technology. This has led to the development of new work that is utilising this cutting edge technology in an imaginative and unique way.Cutting properties, cutting shapes, lines and milling within sheets of glass that are only possible with such a machine are being explored. Accurate lines, holes and intricate shapes, which can be used in multiples, within single and several layers of glass are being produced. These qualities create work that draws the viewer into the work and the processes that have been applied.
The approach is minimal allowing the cutting to maximise the qualities of the architectural glass application. Layering of cutting is enhanced by the manipulation of natural and artificial lights
