Driven by a patient devotion to material ecology, new materialism and material afterlife, Billy Crellin’s practice occupies a new plane built upon histories of glass making, studio crafts and industrialisation. Crellin’s sculptural works transform raw earthly commodities into consumer objects, following a linear anthropology that ultimately returns them to natural processes. In its deceptive clarity, glass mimics the metamorphosis of stone, embodying a uniquely human interpretation of natural evolution.
A trained production glassblower with a degree in visual arts, he has worked across glass centres in Europe and Australia for over a decade before establishing Studio Dokola in Naarm/Melbourne, Australia.
Crellin’s works are held in the collection of the City of Lommel, and he has undertaken residencies at the Glazenhuis in Belgium and Canberra Glassworks.
