"For more than two decades Richard Jolley has been increasingly celebrated for his highly original sculpture in glass, a medium whose malleability and translucency allow his distinctive expressive forms to take on sometimes surprising and, quite literally, illuminating dimensions."
"Since the mid-Eighties Jolley's radical transformation of his non-traditional, craft-associated material means into vivid, ambitious sculpture began attracting public notice. In these two decades he has explored a wide expressive range, especially in his complex, ambitious "Totems" series. These witty, figurative three-dimensional works, evocative of the Pop Art revoultion of the Sixties, retain the artist's distinctively personal accent, even as his work expanded ina number of other seminal directions."
