National Art Glass Museum

More from my little camping jaunt:

I arrived at the Wagga Wagga Art Gallery and Art Glass Museum at about 2.30pm. The two galleries are in adjacent buildings. They might be connected by a walkway but I entered by a side door and I'm not sure how everything was laid out if one was to see it properly.

This glorious green glass is a representation of a woven grass, indigenous eel trap. I can't remember where I've seen an eel trap but I can say the glass captures the look of a trap perfectly.

I honestly can't remember anything about how this is meant to be a display of glass art because it is crocheted cord. I guess the glass flasks are the glass component. I didn't take any photos of the interpretive information because I thought I would remember. I do not. Something about hand crafts and women. Well, crochet is a lovely art form mostly created by women.

Blogger organised the sequence of photos. It's not real smart cos we are back to the eel trap

More glass/ cord arty stuff

I do remember this one is hand knotted in homage to fishig nets and their makers. You can't see but there are many teeny tiny glass beads knotted in.

This spectacular work was rescued from a house demolition. It was created by the father of glass art. I forget his name. You can see I go to look at things, not to study much more.

How on earth anyone creates this from glass is anybody's guess. I imagine it was very time consuming.

I had to photgraph this because it's sciencey and prehistoric (not actually prehistoric but evocative)

The fishing net from another angle. It had a lot of knots. They were counted. It was a very big number. Hurray to the artist for having a lot more persistence than I do.
