Guy Hollington's journey into the world of glass began almost by chance. A casual remark sparked his interest, leading him to an introductory six-week course that soon evolved into a deep passion for blown glass. Further studies at both the Corning Museum of Glass and the Pilchuck School of Glass allowed him to explore the complexities of glassblowing, refining his technique and expanding his artistic vision.
This piece is a frozen whirlwind of confetti caught in mid-celebration; a joyful explosion suspended forever in glass. – Guy Hollington

Three Victoria artists present Writ Large - Contemporary Works on Paper
Three Victoria artists draw on their pasts as professional writers and editors to exhibit a collection of large-format works inspired by the emotional and intellectual energy of written language.
Georgina Montgomery, Louise Oborne, and MaryLou Wakefield use words and text as part of their visual language to amplify a compelling idea, question, or life experience personally meaningful to them.
In this series, the artists demonstrate their individual stylistic approaches to interpreting 'Writ Large' and invite viewers to find their own meaning and interpretation in the works.
Writ Large will be on at arc.hive artist run centre October 4 - 19 and open for viewing Saturdays and Sundays from 12 - 4 pm.
An opening reception with the artists in attendance will be on Friday, October 3, from 7 - 9 pm.
