Text from object entry in A. Game (2016) ‘Contemporary British Crafts: The Goodison Gift to the Fitzwilliam Museum’. London: Philip Wilson Publishers: Angela Jarman studied at West Surrey College of Art and Design and the Royal College of Art, London. She worked as studio assistant to master glassmakers Colin Reid (see 8), Diana Hobson (b.1943) and Tessa Clegg, before establishing her independent studio in London in 2001. Jarman’s intricate cast forms are a response to the dynamic structures found in the living world. Working principally with clear or black glass, her work focuses attention on the strange, and sometimes unsettling, disposition of shapes that are found in organic forms; her observations lead to works that create a new, fictional synthesis of such organic matter filtered through highly skilled processes of making. Long Leaf represents an early example of this approach. Jarman exhibits regularly throughout Europe and, in 2008, she won a major award at the European Glass exhibition in Bornholm, Denmark. Angela Jarman: ‘I aim to create works which have a sense of beauty but also have a quality about them which is faintly strange and disturbing, a lurking sense of unease.’
