Gilles Payette
Tunic, kimono, robe, armor, shield- glass worker Gilles Payette interprets these objects through multiple representations, experimenting with form and color: solidifying, twisting, molding, exploring transparency and opacity. By concentrating on and deconstructing these objects that protect, that cover, his work evolves into a meditation on our physicality and the core experience that gives each of us a sense of our selves.
