Scott Chaseling — 'Log Fire After Glow' Sculptural Glass, 2026

'Log Fire After Glow' by Mittagong-based artist Scott Chaseling is a vibrant exploration of colour, texture and form. Combining techniques including glass painting, fusing, blowing and sculpting, Chaseling creates expressive works that are then warped, stretched and crushed through intuitive, improvised gestures. The resulting sculptures appear to sag under the weight of molten glass, their surfaces folded and creased into dynamic, organic forms. Balancing abstraction and expressionism, these works capture a sense of movement, transformation and material vitality.
