Keith Dymond East Sussex, United Kingdom
Keith, inspired by the Concorde era and a strong technical education, built a career in satellite navigation, leading engineering teams in industry. After transitioning to glass art, a stroke in 2019 reshaped his practice. Through resilience and rehabilitation, he returned with a renewed focus on material, balance, and creativity, now also sharing his knowledge through workshops and talks.
My practice centers on the joy of materials—particularly glass—as a means of creating sculptural forms that blur the boundaries between function, history, and abstraction. Drawing inspiration from natural textures, historical artifacts, and the often-overlooked poetry of everyday objects, I aim to produce work that is both visually compelling and conceptually layered.
Through processes such as casting, carving, and surface manipulation, I explore themes of transformation, resilience, and the passage of time. Glass, with its unique ability to shift between transparency and opacity, becomes an ideal medium through which to examine these ideas. I am especially interested in how light interacts with the material, revealing internal structures and animating each piece in subtle, changing ways.
