Through tunnelling our focus, we erase the peripheral and centre our attention. This glass work explores physical focus, allowing space for visual and psychical depth. Whilst neither landscape nor portraiture, both space and the self occupy a distance that is implied through tone and reflection.

Sightlines is a study of the material qualities of glass. It plays with the way glass can be both looked through, and reflect a space back to the viewer.

Architecture frames the way we understand our bodies in space. Contemporary architecture, more than ever, is constructed of windows and glass walls separating interior and exterior spaces, public and private spaces.

Through the mediums of public performance and body art, Bronte Cormican-Jones explores relationships between space, architecture and the body. Traversing the city as a moving architecture, her frame supports a pane of glass, perhaps a window.


Performing an act of labour, the weight of the sheet glass impacts her gait over time. The potential risk to bodies, performer’s and audience’s, creates observable sensitivities in their movement.


The city is at once reflected in and observable through a shifting architectural plane. The bodily frame is likened to architectural ones in an exploration of boundaries, semi-permeable membranes.
