Tom Barter transforms glass into luminous sculptures inspired by nature, memory, and play. |
Tom Barter shapes glass into radiant forms where light, colour, and story converge.
In his Folded Paper series, Tom Barter reimagines origami forms—planes, butterflies, dogs, cranes and more—through meticulous lost-wax casting. What begins as a fleeting paper fold becomes enduring sculpture, glowing with colour and permanence. His Landscape series transforms iconic New Zealand landmarks—Rangitoto, Mt Taranaki, Great Barrier, and Kapiti Island—into luminous glass silhouettes etched with delicate flax textures, celebrating the beauty and familiarity of these treasured places. Working from his Auckland studio, Tom Barter continues to expand the expressive possibilities of glass, bringing to life sculptures that are playful yet resonant. |
