Acrylic, dichroic glass, wire and metal on a SG standard Gibson Electric Guitar. Mahogany neck and body, rosewood fingerboard, humbucking neck and bridge pick ups, signed by The Editors 990 mm by 330 mm Gill Hobson Gill creates pieces with a richness and intricacy seldom found in contemporary artworks and sculpture. A specialist in glass, her work can be found in UK museum collections and Gill combines disparate elements in a synergy of techniques and materials achieving pieces that blur the boundaries between fine art, craft and sculpture. Throughout her practice organic, cosmological & sociological themes are explored & her pieces often reference networks of relationships and arterial structures. Whether working in two or three dimensional formats, Gill aims to create lyrical, inspirational artworks which elegantly balance thought, pattern & form. Gill is based at Ropewalk Studios, Lincolnshire and also consults and develops opportunities to bring creativity and artistic inspiration to schools, youth groups and community groups in the region. www.gillhobson.com The artist says of this piece: "Many people had their doubts when I said I intended to cover a Gibson SG in bits of glass, but from the moment it was completed, the first thing everyone said when they saw it was 'wow!!': the second was 'how on earth did you do it?' - my reply: 'I'm an artist - it's what I do!'
