"Australian glass phenom Giles Bettison is no longer a wunderkind—he is a mid-career master. He has both honed and extended his technique, which consists of turning tiny “murrine” blocks into immaculate sculptures that shimmer like rapturous patchworks. Twisting, bending and dissolving like a hundred surrealist clocks, the glass cubes congeal into vessels that evoke lace and woven tapestry. This is the work of a virtuoso who damned near magically imbues small-scaled vessels with big impact." - Richard Speer
