Borella has been working with Bullseye glass now for over a decade. This exhibition represents the return to her full time glass practice last year after migrating to New Zealand and several years of practice as a glass educator.
A sense of internationalism is a characteristic which both of these artists bring to their New Zealand contemporaries. While their work made since moving to New Zealand engages with their new environment, each artist approaches their new context with a degree of objectivity.

Claudia Borella is an internationally significant glass artist and a unique figure in the contemporary art glass movement in New Zealand. She immigrated to New Zealand in 2001 with a visual style already formed and with a methodology previously unknown here.
