Glass Artist
Melbourne, Victoria
    
Nadia Mercuri was born in Melbourne in 1980. She obtained her Bachelor of Applied Arts/Glass (Honours) at Monash University in 2002 and then completed Master of Fine Arts degree majoring in glass forming.

Mercuri’s work speaks to aspects of contemporary popular culture and her response to it as a young participant in the Arts and broader community.

“My work is informed and influenced by the theme of science fiction and the ways it is represented in Western popular culture. The design is influenced by the 1950's perception of alien space crafts.
I primarily use glass as the material lends itself to the visual representation of patterns found in space, cosmic structures, and icons in science fiction like the laser light beam through the natural qualities of glass.
Whilst incorporating science fiction themes I discuss the question of UFOs with a degree of ambivalence and humor, alternately (or simultaneously) irony and sincerity, doubt and belief.”
