Looking Back ...

This panel is obviously influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright windows. It starts from an awareness of the mid west of the United States through having been raised there. The clear bevel at its centre allows a clear view, while the rest of the glass allows only light through.

Looking Back...

So the question is "Looking back ... [what do you see]?"

Erosion

This piece is based on the typical structures you find in south west USA and southern Australia as well as other parts of the world. It consists of a hard cap of rock over softer rock that is eroded by wind or water.

View 1

For me it represents the stubborn surface personality persisting although slowly eroded by the effects of experience and time.

View 2

This view shows the curvature of the piece.

This sculptural piece provides a variety of tones in different lighting conditions. It is suitable as a free-standing or a wall piece.

Traditional Boats

This is a series of sailing boats based on a traditional style. They are attractive shelf decorations and if placed on a window sill transmit a soft coloured light.

Each is approximately 180 mm wide, by 250 mm high and 30 - 60 mm deep. They are created in a variety of sea colours, some of which are illustrated here.

Red Tulip Bowl

This bowl is based on a tulip I observed that has a graduation of colours from very dark at the centre through yellow to red. This was placed on a transparent blue background to provide a bright addition to the home.

The colours are built up in multiple firings of opalescent glass powders to give a rich density to the whole image. The bowl is 300mm in diameter and 60mm deep.

It can be used as a decorative serving dish as it is resistant to hot and cold foods.

This signed piece is £50.00 plus P&P

Australian Bloom

During a trip to South Australia I saw this flower in the countryside. I used the image to create a representation of the subtle change in colour from the white centre to the purple edges of the petals. I placed it on a green glass with sparkles called aventurine for contrast.

It is a large shallow bowl of 400mm diameter and 30mm deep. It can be functional as a bowl, or simply decorative, as the light plays across the surface causing the minerals within the glass to shine.

The colour of the flower petals was created by firing layers of powder multiple times to build up the density and graduate the colours. The stamen was fired last and at a lower temperature to give a small relief image.

This signed piece is £100.00 plus P&P.

Violet Field Flower

This is based on a flower found at the edge of a field. I have made it into a shallow bowl showing its veins and upturned petals. The pale yellow centre glows through the colour of the petals.

It can be used as a functional bowl for fruit or as a serving dish. It is 290mm diameter and 60mm deep. The glass is 6mm thick making it very robust. The bowl is resistant to hot food, but should not be used for food that has been fried.

This is a this is a shalow bowl made from clear glass with powder added in multiple layers and firings, and at the end slumped into a mould.

Violet Orchid Bowl

This representation of an orchid is formed of multiple layers of powders, each fired after application. As each bowl is individually made, it forms an unique and bright addition to any setting. Each bowl is signed.

It is a 290mm diameter and 40mm deep kiln formed glass bowl. At present the bowl has a rounded base. This can can be ground to give a flat base. The flat bottom makes the bowl very stable, while the round base allows the bowl to be gently spun.

The bowl is resistant to hot food, but should not be used for food that has been fried.
