Amagnificent array of glass creations has been on display at the Riddoch Arts and Cultural Centre.

The creations were showcased for the ‘JamFactory Icon Tom Moore: Abundant Wonder’ exhibition.

Tom Moore is one of Australia’s leading glass artists working out of the JamFactory in Adelaide and his collection of glass works is accompanied by animations by Jonathan Nix.

Exhibitions and collections team leader Chris Clements said he was amazed by Mr Moore’s creations.

“They can grow on you a bit and I did not notice all of them at once, and I like the way they throw amazing, weird shadows,” he said.

“It is kind of about childhood imagination, but it is also about the changing of our environment and the world and how species are evolving or devolving.

“It is also about consumerism and climate change.

“I think people are really drawn by the technical aspect of it, like the process of making it, because it is hard to imagine how you make these things.”

Mr Moore’s contemporary work is described as zoomorphic, engaging, sophisticated and technically challenging hybridised animal/plant sculptures.

The imaginative and complex worlds his creations inhabit are deeply embedded in the history of glass making and scientific discovery.

“It is kind of a retrospective, it has got a lot of work from the past, but he makes a lot of work,” Mr Clements said.

Mr Clements said the exhibition had attracted many people and said it was important to bring unique exhibitions such as Mr Moore’s to Mount Gambier.

“We want to expose people to whatever is happening in metropolitan areas so people can see what is happening out there,” Mr Clements said.

“I think he wants to get work in and around regional galleries so everyone can see it.

“It is exciting, it appeals to a wide demographic, it has kind of got something for everyone.”
