“I have been greatly involved in caring for my aging parents over the past few years and have seen the ravages of Alzheimers erode their memories. They are at dramatically different stages and are experiencing the disease in very different ways. And I wonder if there is a ‘beauty’ to be found in the acceptance of these losses? But I am also seeing parallels to the losses we as people are inflicting upon the natural world we are a part of, to the way we engage with one another both at home and abroad, to the way we build respectful relations. Would beautifying these losses point to how we have been seduced into accepting them? I would like to create a body of work which makes visible these losses, that attempts to shine some kind of light on them in the hopes of change.

Working from my home on the edge of the Canadian Shield on the traditional Lands and Waters of the Chippewa and Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg that are a part of Treaty 20 and the Williams Treaty, I acknowledge that these are living treaties in which we are all participants. I have found both muse and foil in this transitional landscape of stone, wood and water, making work that accepts that we are not separate from the natural world. It is here that I maintain a practice as both sculptor and functional glass blower – often traversing the line between. The waterways that spread across this land have fascinated me since I moved here in 1994 and I have found much inspiration and pleasure in following them in every season.”

Copping’s practice has developed in two distinct directions. The first is grounded in the development and exhibition of sculpture and installation work. This work usually includes the use of glass and has transitioned from commercial galleries to public galleries as the work has increased in scale and complexity. The second direction is the blown and carved glass vessels, and very functional production glassware series.  Both aspects of Copping’s practice started their evolution around his attempts to understand our place in a world where change is the only constant. While the functional blown and carved glass vessels have become an exploration of form, surface and light, it is through the sculptural work that he has continued to examine that initial idea.

Artist Biography

Copping was an Artist-in-Residence at the Canadian Canoe Museum.  Through the work produced during this residency, he began to explore the history of Indigenous–settler relationships and to examine his own position within this legacy.  A more recent project, Resource Room, a collaboration with Anishinaabe artist Alice Olsen Williams, was an immersive installation of blown glass, textile, sound and projection in the former King George Public School in Peterborough.
