Description
Layla Walter
Black Robin
cast glass, 2024
H. 120 x D. 120 mm
Layla Walter has gained international recognition for her works in cast glass. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Design in 1998 and worked concurrently in her own practice and as an assistant to renowned glass artist Ann Robinson. Walter continues a tradition of cast glass, using highly skilled and complex techniques, depicting weaving, figuration and native flora and fauna carved in bas-relief using the lost wax technique. Her work is held in private collections and significant public institutions, including Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand and the Auckland Museum.
Growing up in a creative world within the Coromandel, conservation has had a powerful effect on Walter from an early age, and her work continues to speak to ecological and humanitarian concerns. The work Black Robin was inspired by a picture of Old Blue, the sole remaining female Black Robin who brought her species back from the brink of extinction.
