We were thrilled to see Roberta de Caro, Glass Fellow and former BA Fine Art and MA Art & Material Histories student, featured in the Autumn/Winter 2024 edition of Crafts Magazine.
In the feature, Roberta discusses her artistic journey, her introduction to the medium of glass, explored throughout her studies at City & Guilds of London Art School and the Royal College of Art, and her project ‘From the Fragment to the Whole’. This socially engaged art initiative comprises a series of workshops for domestic abuse survivors, using glass as a metaphor for the process of rebuilding one’s life after domestic abuse.
Roberta’s latest work, Lacrimonium (2024), is a series of glass sculptures with a form at the centre: a bottle for holding tears. One of the series, ‘Tears for Breakfast, 2024’ (Images 4-5), is currently on display at the inaugural group show of Norito Gallery, ‘Through the Shattered Mirror of Yi Sang’, at 19b Beak Street, Soho, until 14th November.
Congratulations Roberta!
