Darbey's visual art, characterized by intricate patterns, textures and light juxtaposed with the sculptural glass and sound installation by Beyaert created a space where the two practices converged and complemented each other in unexpected ways.

Central to the exhibition's presence at Art Walk Wakefield was the opportunity for dialogue and exchange. Alongside the visual and sonic displays, the artists hosted a talk where they shared insights into their collaborative process, inspirations, and the concepts behind their work. This talk provided attendees with a behind-the-scenes glimps into the creative yourney, fostering a deeper appreciation for the artwork on display.

Art of Glass, an exhibition featuring a selection of fifteen works, revealed an inspirational snapshot of glass art up to that point.

The collaborative work of Griet Beyaert and Paul Miller is a testament to the innovative potential of interdisciplinary collaboration. | The Glass Cyphers collaboration (G. Beyaert / P. Miller).

This is a The Glass Cyphers collaboration (G. Beyaert / P. Miller).

The performance 'Blue Moment' developed as part of the residency, is an exloration of the interplay between glass artistry, movement, light and sound. It is a collaboration between Japanese dancer Miku Ihara and choreographer Kazuma Yamamoto and The Glass Cyphers (Griet Beyaert + Paul Miller).

It draws inspiration from the ethereal beauty of the color blue as presented in the locality of the residency's location. A glass drawing workshop, a talk, and numerous visits to local artistic organisations provided the artists with in depth engagement with the local creative community.

This group residency was a collaborative experience that brought together artists and performers from diverse backgrounds. Held in the picturesque surroundings of Coniston, the residency provided a unique opportunity for participants to connect with each other and the landscape, fostering creativity and inspiration.

The residency provided a platform to explore experimentation with Pure Data, an open source visual programming language and software environment designed for creating interactive multimedia work, music compositions, sound installations and more. My emphasis in this case was on the relation between particle systems and sound.

A solo show showcasing Griet's diaphanous glass sculptures combined with a collaborative installation from The Glass Cyphers (Griet Beyaert + Paul Miller), as well as a workshop and building projection in collaboration with the local school.

Sound responsive, projection-mapped fibre-glass sculpture commissioned by Leeds BID. At its core, The Murmuration cloud is a testament to the transformative potential of sound as an artistic medium. Inspired by the mesmerizing spectacle of murmurations in nature, the installation seeks to evoke a similar sense of collective movement and unity through sound and light.

Central to the installation is its responsiveness to sound, which serves as both input and inspiration for the visual and spatial elements. As invited musicians and the public interact with the installation through sound, the cloud-like structure comes to life, pulsating and shifting in response to the auditory stimuli.

An interactive installation inspired by the lost expended energy of everyday movement. The public was invited to actively engage with the installation, an infinity symbol made from fused and suspended glass powder sculptures. The installation demonstrated the principles of movement, energy transfer and transformation. A the Glass Cyphers collaboration (G. Beyaert / P. Miller).
