details about this work


June Kingsbury is based in Henley-on-Thames, South East


June Kingsbury’s work focuses on absence and memory, creating a dialogue between past events and current issues. Objects are cast in glass and retain their form in a material which allows the viewer to consider the space that the object once occupied - histories are chronicled, place is defined and a connection with the natural world is made.
