virtual gallery tour along with an interview with Philip and Monica, explaining some of the ideas and thoughts behind the exhibition ‘Walking in the Void’. Presented at Glasmuseet Ebeltoft 16th June 2020 – 11th April 2021, may be found at the bottom of this page. 

 Guggisberg and Baldwin have laid a new avenue. By joining Italian coldworking to the Swedish overlay, they have embarked upon an innovative sequence of experimentation and research not only on surfaces, but also on color and the interplay of color and texture through surface treatment. These explorations have increasingly drawn them to probe the expressive fields of textural elements. Initially soft and tactile, with the new strong angles, facets and deep cuts, the surface itself takes on a kind of fourth dimension, something sculptural that moves beyond the limits set by height, width, and volume.
