MOTHER LODE – Vertical Fused Art Glass Sculpture
Elemental. Unearthed. Enduring.
Part of the Goldfields Mining Series, MOTHER LODE captures the raw beauty and layered complexity of Kalgoorlie’s gold-bearing earth. Using a vertical fusing technique, this kiln-formed art glass sculpture reflects the geological formations exposed on the face of the shaft, where the richness of colour and mineral texture reveals the land’s deep history.
This piece symbolises the moment of discovery—the unearthing of the mother lode—and the opportunities it has sustained across generations. The sculpture’s layered tones, drawn from the region’s natural palette, evoke both the allure of the gold strike and the elemental forces that shape the land.
