The Layered Glass Artwork of Angela Palmer

Angela Palmer is a Scottish/English artist who began her career as a journalist and magazine editor, and began showing as an artist in the early mid-2000's. Her work now usually involves drawings or etchings on layers of glass of images taken from MRIs. She says she is inspired by maps, and each image reflects this, with the layers giving the work depth and demonstrating the complexity of the structures she is representing. A recent massive public work is Ghost Forest, which is a display of stumps of massive rainforest trees intended to draw attention to the loss of rainforests throughout the world.
