Eryka Isaak

Working internationally Eryka creates sculpture, vessels and light commissions in glass and metals. Inspired by the trail left by the death of an electron, or the pitted surface of the inside of a copper tank, she continues to explore the diverse relationship glass has with metal.
All the colours and textures have been created by the reactions of the aluminium and the other materials within the restricted oxygen atmosphere between the two layers of glass. She pushes the boundaries of the material within a fairly simple process, working with recycled materials, particularly with metals acquired from manufacturing processes, challenging the perceived fragility of studio glass. Her work invites the perception of a robust, tactile and enduring material. The sculptures are highly versatile and can be installed from ceiling or wall, inside or outdoors, to create a dramatic statement.
 
Eryka's sculpture works have been commissioned and are installed worldwide. In Birmingham she has undertaken a number of commissions, including the largescale glass sculpture installed in the ceiling of the main entrance of Aston Business School. Her work is also in many private collections including the late Anthony Minghella and the estate of Dennis Potter.
