Andrea Spencer: Exploring Nature Through Glass

Andrea Spencer maintains a studio in rural Ballintoy on the North Antrim Coast. A large part of her practice includes flame-worked glass and mixed media to create ephemeral installations and delicate sculptural objects. Her work is inspired by nature, drawing on natural forms and structures to create pieces which correlate with aspects of the human condition.
