A native of Crosshaven, Luke Sisk draws on childhood folklore from Camden Fort Meagher as well as architectural and engineering details, to create a body of work that combines fact and fiction through the medium of glass and ceramics. Sisk’s practice uses repetition of wheel-thrown porcelain vessels as a way of portraying information about the space they are in, an aesthetic he has steadily been developing over a number of years.
In contrast to the minimal style of his ceramics, he uses kiln-formed cast glass as a more sculptural outlet, taking casts from locations around the fort and translating them into solid glass sculptures.
Exhibition on from 9th July to 24th July 2016, Camden Fort Meagher Gallery, Crosshaven, Cork.
