Current Exhibition
“IN RELATIONSHIP”
This online gallery glass exhibition will explore the theme of being ‘In Relationship’. We asked glass artists what it meant for them.
“Relationship-The way in which two or more people or things are connected, or the state of being connected.”
What does this mean for the artist. Do the pieces of glass have a relationship with each other? Does the artist explore the idea of man and his relationship with others? His surroundings? His own thoughts? Does their work explore the relationship that they have with the material of glass?
From a very large number of entries, 80 CGS members were selected to take part in this exciting and vibrant exhibition. WE also welcomed several new CGS members to this show.
The exhibition was launched on the 4th of August 2017.
Thank you to all those that entered work. Due to the number of entries, we could only put forward a select number of artists.
Launched on:4th August 2017

Regret, 2017
Photographer: Keay Edwards
Details: 5" H x 11" W X 8" D Glass, Stone
The ever-changing life of landscape inspires me: in particular, that of my homeland, Israel, and of my present home, Northern California.
This piece explores the relationship between man and the land.
The idea of belonging to a place and feeling at home or feeling uprooted, misplaced.
Experiences of life in a foreign country and starting a new life with all that it entails,
expressed in the tension or harmony created between the glass and the stone.

Photographer: Photograph by : Sylvain Deleu

Attract/Repel captures moments of anticipation through attraction and its counterpointed reaction. Never reaching the other, trajectories converge and stray to and from one another on two frames; one of approach and the second the sudden retreat.

Relationship
Photographer: Anne Freeman
Details: Vessels measuring 20-22cm high. Made from Bullseye French Vanilla and Egyptian Blue, using the Venetian roll up technique.
These vessels were designed and crafted using Bullseye glass and the venetian roll up technique. We then blew the vessels out as far as the glass would allow. Initially starting with 20cm by 17cm glass tiles composing of a total of 4 layers of glass - 3 tekta and 1 coloured, plus corresponding stringers for the lineage structure.
I wanted to look at the relationship and reactions within 2 particular Bullseye colours when used in a roll up technique. For my degree show, I had also been designing based on mechanical structures such as building cranes.
The vessel with French Vanilla background had Egyptian Blue stringers used for the lineage. After full fusing, these remained blue, after several reheats in the glory hole, the colour started to change and became a smokey brown and started to distort at the edges.
The vessel with Egyptian blue background was treated in the same manner and the relationship between the 2 colours did not distort or change, despite many reheats in the glory hole.
These results are leading me into the studies for my Masters in Glass - to explore the reactions and relationships between various 'ingredients' such as sulpher, lead, copper and more.
I also need to give due credit to our Plymouth College of Art glass technician, Lawrence West, for helping me to complete the roll up process and blow the vessels out.

Carapace
Photographer: Photo by Simon Bruntnell
Details: Deep Vessel
This vessel explores the relationship between dense white and french vanilla and the resultant reaction where these colours touch. I also explored the relationship between opaque glass and light transmittance by providing "windows" using opaline frit. The overall effect allows light to travel through the walls of the vessel and display the interior detail onto the exterior wall; once again showing a relationship between surfaces.

Details: Kiln cast glass. 10cm W x 45cm H x 1cm D in Acrylic base
The interactions of flora and fauna fascinate me, and I like to explore this connection in my work.
However the most important aspect of all my designs is the relationship within the glass of the surface designs interaction with light, and how with the right layering of textures and mark making the design can create animation in the design. It is my relationship with glass and it’s relationship with light that is being explored, expanded upon and nurtured in every piece I make.

More than kisses, letters mingle souls; for, thus friends absent speak.

Letter: a written or printed communication directed to a person or organisation, usually sent by post in an envelope
A letter is more, so much more. A letter can be magical, it is an inspiration act picking up a pen and cover a piece of paper with your thoughts, desires, promeses and hopes
These letters are from my past, from the times where I received and wrote letters to my loved ones, the times where the relationships were handled more personal but not always better than now

“Celebration of love”
Details: Stained-glass panel, 150mm x 150mm x 50 mm
For me, to be in a relationship is not just about being in love, it is about sharing something special and by doing this feeling connected, as if becoming one. This could be lovers, family, a friendship, or other less tangible things.
Furthermore, my panels are not only linked stylistically but are an evolution of thoughts and ideas where one feeds into another. This evolution comes from my skills that I seek continually to build, as well as influences from other professionals that I have worked with, and friends that I have made during my career. This helps me to gradually insert realistic elements such as the life drawing panels. These aim to show how a natural body, in the simplest way, is beautiful, and to help some women to reconnect with their relationship with their body.
Finally, the relationship between myself and my family is of great importance and permeates my work. This is seen in the last projects which celebrate love, focusing on the 50th wedding anniversaries of my grandparents. The biggest influences on me are my grandmothers, as they are examples of the woman I dream to be, elegant, honest, loving, caring and strong. This is manifest in my art, which is strong in contrast and the composition, elegant in the detail, honest in the story and loving and caring in the techniques and materials I use.

Earth from behind the moon
Photographer: Beverley Bunn
Details: A 50x50cm framed panel made with Bullseye glass powder on a tekta base
This panel forms part of a series of studies exploring our solar system. In this piece I explore the relationship between our Earth and the Moon - a relationship which seems somewhat one-sided. Here are some of the key features of that relationship:- Scientists argue that if not for the moon providing the necessary conditions to invoke tides in our oceans, the microorganisms that were churned up in the seas and distributed about the earth, would not have reached dry land and been able to evolve - would we as a species exist? the phenomenon of tidal friction also acts as a kind of brake in the speed the earth rotates so helps to keep our days at a constant length. The moon's gravitational force also keeps the earth's axis stable at around 32 degrees - otherwise it could tilt randomly anywhere between upright and 90 degrees - image the North Pole at the equator! This is what gives us our predictable seasons and weather patterns. We have a lot to thank the moon for - In return, the Earth keeps the moon in it's orbit - thank goodness for that!

Photographer: Beverley Bunn
Details: A 50x50cm framed panel made with Bullseye glass powder on a tekta base
This panel forms part of a series of studies exploring our solar system. In this piece I explore the relationship between our Earth and the Moon - a relationship which seems somewhat one-sided. Here are some of the key features of that relationship:- Scientists argue that if not for the moon providing the necessary conditions to invoke tides in our oceans, the microorganisms that were churned up in the seas and distributed about the earth, would not have reached dry land and been able to evolve - would we as a species exist? the phenomenon of tidal friction also acts as a kind of brake in the speed the earth rotates so helps to keep our days at a constant length. The moon's gravitational force also keeps the earth's axis stable at around 32 degrees - otherwise it could tilt randomly anywhere between upright and 90 degrees - image the North Pole at the equator! This is what gives us our predictable seasons and weather patterns. We have a lot to thank the moon for - In return, the Earth keeps the moon in it's orbit - thank goodness for that!

Relationship means Responsibility
Photographer: Charmaine Manning
Details: Kiln cast Newts egg wrapped in Silver leaf
This sculpture is inspired by Great Crested Newts decline due to loss of habitat through human intervention. I was especially moved when I learned that the female newts lay up to 300 eggs and wraps each one individually in a leaf for protection.
The Egg
The egg is made out of bullseye glass to represent fragility. My preference to kiln cast rather than blow the glass proved challenging, in keeping the yolk as a separate entity without losing its shape.
The leaf
The leaf was formed from copper sheet using a technique called anticlastic raising, using only a hammer and stake to persuade the metal into opposing itself by stretching the edges more than the centre forming an undulating organic form. It was then subsequently silver plated to signify how precious this species is.
Lastly it was secured to the leaf to give the impression of soon being wrapped into its folds for protection and mounted on black slate.

The shared rhythm of Words, Music and Architecture
Photographer: Denise Mt Basso
Details: Triptych Wall Sculpture Dimensions: 3No. 500 x 500 x 100 mm. Etched letterforms to blue on clear and blue on turquoise Saint-Just flashed glass, in two layers of three sandblasted low iron clear white glass panels.
‘Fragments of Blue’ is a three verse poem by Ray Bradley, and an interpretation in visual calligraphy by Denise mt Basso. The Glass Triptych is a postscript to her ‘Fragments of Lives’ North Aisle Screens to the grade 1 listed, 12th Century (1129) St James Priory Church, Bristol, (http://www.bradleybasso.com/portfolio/st-james-priory-bristol/ ) which embodies distinct musical connotation mirroring the human life progression.
As music, the steady relentless visual crescendo in the North Aisle develops its apparent weightlessness, the counterpoint, in the most complex and fragmented section, to regain and adapt to adagio, a newer calmer pace towards the altar (image 2)
Architecturally, columns of deep blasted and etched text establish a weave of rhythmic crescendo towards the altar to visually complement the Norman grandeur of St James. The Blackletter script of the Gutenberg bible (1450s), its Textualis and Schwabacher, the horizontal lines of vertical strokes gives the impression of a woven structure of light.
The apparent opposites of ‘fragmentation’ and ‘re-assembling’ visually and conceptually explore man’s struggle towards Wholeness, ‘the quality or state of being whole, entire, or sound’.

'An Encounter of Curiosity'
Photographer: Simon Bruntnell
Details: Kiln cast Gaffer glass. Approximately 65cm across as seen here.
These pieces were a nightmare to make as I was pushing the medium of glass to its limits. In retrospect they would of been better cast in bronze. I have for a long time been interested in half animal, half human forms, and here I've invented two of my own to join a Minotaur; a Raven-Man and a Fox-Man. These three characters (in fact there was to of been a fourth) were always conceived as a group, having a sort of conversation and yet at the same time eying each other up with curiosity and suspicion.

'Liberated Strands'
Photographer: Peter Mehta - photograph
Details: 28cm sq bullseye glass; 46cm sq frame
'Liberated Strands' exemplifies a collaborative relationship between three artists from three different disciplines: combining glass, woven strands with skillful presentation.
This piece captures the trilogy of individual layered materials working together perfectly. Suspended strands of coloured glass mimic woven threads, demonstrating the versatility of glass resembling other materials. Creative empathetic mounting and framing delivers the optimum visual character of the glass and strands.
‘Liberated Strands’ is the precursor to an exciting series furthering the connection of these mediums, using appropriate colours to echo the four seasons, to thus be in relationship, linking the past to the present and to the future.

Transparent glass, which can be airborne, surrounds or twists around two heavy, static black forms and illustrates the relationship between them.

Title: Arctium Lappa from the project Semina Percurrenta
A Canadian man and a Spaniard woman meet, fall in love and decide to live together. They quickly find out about the countless laws, rules, forms, paperwork and all the other administrative red tape that prevent their love from easily crossing the seemingly friendly Canadian border. This story, our own, is the inspiration for our collaborative project entitled Semina Percurrenta, which loosely means the ''travelling seed'' in Latin. Our project consists of sculptural installations inspired by invading plants that defy borders, where the seed becomes a metaphor for freedom. Notorious dividers such as the Berlin, Israel-Palestine and Mexican-USA walls, as well as the unattainable natural boundaries such as oceans or deserts have been easily surmounted by seeds that have been swept by the wind, floated on waves, attached themselves to animal fur, all without having to fill out a border crossing form. Near these borders, the same migrant plants naturally find themselves disseminated here and there without any territorial consideration. It is the seeds of plants like the Proboscidea Louisianica, indigenous to both the Mexican and USA deserts that inspire the forms of the sculptures. The sculptures are made by using the hot sculpted and blown glass techniques and other materials and presented in installations.

The same greenhouse gases causing climate change are also having disastrous effects on the ocean.
Our oceans are absorbing carbon dioxide, rapidly causing them to become more acidic. This is threatening the habitat of every species that calls the ocean home, particularly vulnerable coral as well as many types of plankton, which form the base of the food chain.’ (Greenpeace)
I had a wonderful weekend snorkelling in Cornwall a few weeks ago, and it just reminded me how beautiful the underwater world is. I felt I had to make something to help bring this threatened environment, on which we all depend, to the attention of us landlubbers. It may be out of sight to us for much of the time, but if we allow it to be out of mind too, we risk destroying this relationship, and with it ourselves.

As the fire melts the ice, so the ice quenches the fire. Our relationship with these elements is one of our greatest steps forward in evolution.

BC SERIES--BC467
Details: 79*26*9cm,2009
The era BC770 to BC221 in ancient China was well-known by bronzes and other top achievements in Chinese history, such as philosophy or free ideology. My “BC” series was inspired by the bronzes of ancient China, so I explored the relation of glass and copper in my works from 2005. Glass can integrate with other materials like the harmonious connection between my heart and glass. The series pieces try to describe the spirit of that era and also respect for that period.

A Sense of Community II
Photographer: David Reekie
Details: Lost wax cast glass and painted wood.
The UK Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher said in 1987 that there is no such thing as society and then her government proceeded to destroy working communities throughout United Kingdom.
We now live in a world weakened by the lack of strong communities leading to trouble both here in the UK and abroad.
With this in mind we now have a society that is made up of divided communities with a lack of understanding of each other’s needs.
It is important that there should be a coming together encouraged by a programme of help and reconstruction in these communities to bring people together.
These thoughts have inspired this series, A Sense of Community, of figures coming together and holding on and reflecting on what is happening around them.

The Desire and Pursuit of the Whole is called Love
Photographer: Geoff Allwood
Details: Spherical vessel and stopper, in clear crystal, blown to my specification by Bob Crooks. When opened, the caption, in Greek and English, appear on the mating surfaces of the vessel and its stopper.
Inspiration for this work: Plato recounts the story that the gods became angry with mortal beings, and cut everyone in two and cast them adrift in the world and condemned them to search for their "other half"- this is the basis for physical attraction. When the stopper of the vessel is placed in its base, the two halves are re-united in Love

Day and Night - they meet, they fight for space and finally become one. Light and shadow are part of the same nature, yet they differ. This is the same with people, coming from the most diverse cultures and parts of the world, who have travelled for miles like a piece of driftwood. Yet they get together and become attracted to each other.

My internal struggle-achieving the communication with others, pledges to the natural world, perpetually deferred.
These figures represent my constant internal discussion & frustration...to be a better person, to stop my racing thru life, missing all the beauty & communication of & with the natural world.
Even sharing the commonality of these feelings is deferred, as we race thru life.

'Merging Minerals'
Photographer: Samantha Donaldson
Details: Blown and Coldworked Glass
Continually inspired by the beauty, infinite variety and elemental link to the past, rocks, minerals and fossils have always fascinated me and assisted me with the development of my new pieces.
Vitreous Minerals share the wonderous lustre of glass, some exhibiting unusual optical phenomena, displaying luminous bands of changing colour, which appear to move as each specimen rotates.
Exaggerating the fluidity that cultivates so many surprises within blown glass, exemplifies the feeling that originally attracted me to work with this material.
I set out to create a relationship between two forms in my 'Merging Minerals'. By marrying an entwined pair, I have truly created something encouragingly thrilling to slice through.

Safe at Home.
“What time will you be home?”
“Not sure. Late. Sorry. I’ll try not to wake you when I get in”.
“Promise?”
“Promise”.
He always promised and he did his best but at least half the time he woke her. He often ended up working late. She could picture him in his office, watching the screen of the computer, shifting stocks and shares, earning his keep. She meanwhile would retire to bed early, a necessity as her shift at the hospital dragged her out of bed when the world was still shrouded in pre-dawn grey. But she would not really sleep. Not deeply anyway. She would be listening. He would be as good as his word and slip in quietly through the door, doing his best not to wake hear but there was always a tell tale sign that she heard that told her he had arrived home.
In the alcove just to the left of the door was a glass bowl. Small, clear, cheaply, even amateurishly made, it served as the receptacle for their keys and it rang, in a small and cheap sounding way whenever either of them deposited their keys into it. She had picked it up at a jumble sale not long after they were married. It was a charity event organised by a friend and she had bought it not out of any liking for its shape or aesthetic but because it was cheap and allowed her to support the cause without going out of pocket. It had rattled around their house for a month or two, pressed into service first of all holding various things like paperclips or small change, then finally it found its true purpose holding their keys.
Neither of them remarked on this. Neither was consciously aware of the sound their keys made clinking against the glass. The bowl was a detail in their lives. Insignificant in that it was an unloved item but important in that it was one of the hooks on which the threads that bound them together were tangled. Always there was a lessening of ten

Photographer: Keay Edwards
Details: 5" H x 11" W X 8" D Glass, Stone
The ever-changing life of landscape inspires me: in particular, that of my homeland, Israel, and of my present home, Northern California.
This piece explores the relationship between man and the land.
The idea of belonging to a place and feeling at home or feeling uprooted, misplaced.
Experiences of life in a foreign country and starting a new life with all that it entails,
expressed in the tension or harmony created between the glass and the stone.

The oceans are my inspiration. Through my work I try to share what I see, my sensations, my dreams, but also my concern for them and their life. They need our protection... We still have time to make the "choice"... no blue, no green. No water, no life.

Relationship
Photographer: Anne Freeman
Details: Vessels measuring 20-22cm high. Made from Bullseye French Vanilla and Egyptian Blue, using the Venetian roll up technique.
These vessels were designed and crafted using Bullseye glass and the venetian roll up technique. We then blew the vessels out as far as the glass would allow. Initially starting with 20cm by 17cm glass tiles composing of a total of 4 layers of glass - 3 tekta and 1 coloured, plus corresponding stringers for the lineage structure.
I wanted to look at the relationship and reactions within 2 particular Bullseye colours when used in a roll up technique. For my degree show, I had also been designing based on mechanical structures such as building cranes.
The vessel with French Vanilla background had Egyptian Blue stringers used for the lineage. After full fusing, these remained blue, after several reheats in the glory hole, the colour started to change and became a smokey brown and started to distort at the edges.
The vessel with Egyptian blue background was treated in the same manner and the relationship between the 2 colours did not distort or change, despite many reheats in the glory hole.
These results are leading me into the studies for my Masters in Glass - to explore the reactions and relationships between various 'ingredients' such as sulpher, lead, copper and more.
I also need to give due credit to our Plymouth College of Art glass technician, Lawrence West, for helping me to complete the roll up process and blow the vessels out.

Details: Deep Vessel
This vessel explores the relationship between dense white and french vanilla and the resultant reaction where these colours touch. I also explored the relationship between opaque glass and light transmittance by providing "windows" using opaline frit. The overall effect allows light to travel through the walls of the vessel and display the interior detail onto the exterior wall; once again showing a relationship between surfaces.

However the most important aspect of all my designs is the relationship within the glass of the surface designs interaction with light, and how with the right layering of textures and mark making the design can create animation in the design. It is my relationship with glass and it’s relationship with light that is being explored, expanded upon and nurtured in every piece I make.

Letter: a written or printed communication directed to a person or organisation, usually sent by post in an envelope

These letters are from my past, from the times where I received and wrote letters to my loved ones, the times where the relationships were handled more personal but not always better than now

“Celebration of love”
Details: Stained-glass panel, 150mm x 150mm x 50 mm
For me, to be in a relationship is not just about being in love, it is about sharing something special and by doing this feeling connected, as if becoming one. This could be lovers, family, a friendship, or other less tangible things.
Furthermore, my panels are not only linked stylistically but are an evolution of thoughts and ideas where one feeds into another. This evolution comes from my skills that I seek continually to build, as well as influences from other professionals that I have worked with, and friends that I have made during my career. This helps me to gradually insert realistic elements such as the life drawing panels. These aim to show how a natural body, in the simplest way, is beautiful, and to help some women to reconnect with their relationship with their body.
Finally, the relationship between myself and my family is of great importance and permeates my work. This is seen in the last projects which celebrate love, focusing on the 50th wedding anniversaries of my grandparents. The biggest influences on me are my grandmothers, as they are examples of the woman I dream to be, elegant, honest, loving, caring and strong. This is manifest in my art, which is strong in contrast and the composition, elegant in the detail, honest in the story and loving and caring in the techniques and materials I use.

Earth from behind the moon
Photographer: Beverley Bunn
Details: A 50x50cm framed panel made with Bullseye glass powder on a tekta base
This panel forms part of a series of studies exploring our solar system. In this piece I explore the relationship between our Earth and the Moon - a relationship which seems somewhat one-sided. Here are some of the key features of that relationship:- Scientists argue that if not for the moon providing the necessary conditions to invoke tides in our oceans, the microorganisms that were churned up in the seas and distributed about the earth, would not have reached dry land and been able to evolve - would we as a species exist? the phenomenon of tidal friction also acts as a kind of brake in the speed the earth rotates so helps to keep our days at a constant length. The moon's gravitational force also keeps the earth's axis stable at around 32 degrees - otherwise it could tilt randomly anywhere between upright and 90 degrees - image the North Pole at the equator! This is what gives us our predictable seasons and weather patterns. We have a lot to thank the moon for - In return, the Earth keeps the moon in it's orbit - thank goodness for that!

Relationship means Responsibility
Photographer: Charmaine Manning
Details: Kiln cast Newts egg wrapped in Silver leaf
This sculpture is inspired by Great Crested Newts decline due to loss of habitat through human intervention. I was especially moved when I learned that the female newts lay up to 300 eggs and wraps each one individually in a leaf for protection.
The Egg
The egg is made out of bullseye glass to represent fragility. My preference to kiln cast rather than blow the glass proved challenging, in keeping the yolk as a separate entity without losing its shape.
The leaf
The leaf was formed from copper sheet using a technique called anticlastic raising, using only a hammer and stake to persuade the metal into opposing itself by stretching the edges more than the centre forming an undulating organic form. It was then subsequently silver plated to signify how precious this species is.
Lastly it was secured to the leaf to give the impression of soon being wrapped into its folds for protection and mounted on black slate.

The shared rhythm of Words, Music and Architecture
Photographer: Denise Mt Basso
Details: Triptych Wall Sculpture Dimensions: 3No. 500 x 500 x 100 mm. Etched letterforms to blue on clear and blue on turquoise Saint-Just flashed glass, in two layers of three sandblasted low iron clear white glass panels.
‘Fragments of Blue’ is a three verse poem by Ray Bradley, and an interpretation in visual calligraphy by Denise mt Basso. The Glass Triptych is a postscript to her ‘Fragments of Lives’ North Aisle Screens to the grade 1 listed, 12th Century (1129) St James Priory Church, Bristol, (http://www.bradleybasso.com/portfolio/st-james-priory-bristol/ ) which embodies distinct musical connotation mirroring the human life progression.
As music, the steady relentless visual crescendo in the North Aisle develops its apparent weightlessness, the counterpoint, in the most complex and fragmented section, to regain and adapt to adagio, a newer calmer pace towards the altar (image 2)
Architecturally, columns of deep blasted and etched text establish a weave of rhythmic crescendo towards the altar to visually complement the Norman grandeur of St James. The Blackletter script of the Gutenberg bible (1450s), its Textualis and Schwabacher, the horizontal lines of vertical strokes gives the impression of a woven structure of light.
The apparent opposites of ‘fragmentation’ and ‘re-assembling’ visually and conceptually explore man’s struggle towards Wholeness, ‘the quality or state of being whole, entire, or sound’.

'An Encounter of Curiosity'
Photographer: Simon Bruntnell
Details: Kiln cast Gaffer glass. Approximately 65cm across as seen here.
These pieces were a nightmare to make as I was pushing the medium of glass to its limits. In retrospect they would of been better cast in bronze. I have for a long time been interested in half animal, half human forms, and here I've invented two of my own to join a Minotaur; a Raven-Man and a Fox-Man. These three characters (in fact there was to of been a fourth) were always conceived as a group, having a sort of conversation and yet at the same time eying each other up with curiosity and suspicion.

The Idiosyncrasies series is about celebrating memories through the presentation or re-creation of important objects.
My inspiration is drawn from profound personal occurrences. This piece is in tribute to my late Nanna.
Her collection of magnets, her love of tea and incredibly hospitable nature are all celebrated through this piece.
A hand blown and sculpted glass teapot standing beside a glass teacup. These objects are not only in relationship with each
other because of their common purpose involving tea, but serve as a sentimental materialisation of a relationship I shared with my grandparent.

'Liberated Strands'
Photographer: Peter Mehta - photograph
Details: 28cm sq bullseye glass; 46cm sq frame
'Liberated Strands' exemplifies a collaborative relationship between three artists from three different disciplines: combining glass, woven strands with skillful presentation.
This piece captures the trilogy of individual layered materials working together perfectly. Suspended strands of coloured glass mimic woven threads, demonstrating the versatility of glass resembling other materials. Creative empathetic mounting and framing delivers the optimum visual character of the glass and strands.
‘Liberated Strands’ is the precursor to an exciting series furthering the connection of these mediums, using appropriate colours to echo the four seasons, to thus be in relationship, linking the past to the present and to the future.

I am interested in the attitude of the human to the environment, to the human being and the interaction between them. Our lives are full of emotions, which are otherwise hidden from the eyes, but ubiquitous, permeating us, determining and leading our lives. All the time, we consciously or unconsciously weave invisible threads and intervene in space and time. I portrayed these interactions in my work. Transparent glass, which can be airborne, surrounds or twists around two heavy, static black forms and illustrates the relationship between them. It can connect them, but it can also create a constant tension between them.

Title: Arctium Lappa from the project Semina Percurrenta
A Canadian man and a Spaniard woman meet, fall in love and decide to live together. They quickly find out about the countless laws, rules, forms, paperwork and all the other administrative red tape that prevent their love from easily crossing the seemingly friendly Canadian border. This story, our own, is the inspiration for our collaborative project entitled Semina Percurrenta, which loosely means the ''travelling seed'' in Latin. Our project consists of sculptural installations inspired by invading plants that defy borders, where the seed becomes a metaphor for freedom. Notorious dividers such as the Berlin, Israel-Palestine and Mexican-USA walls, as well as the unattainable natural boundaries such as oceans or deserts have been easily surmounted by seeds that have been swept by the wind, floated on waves, attached themselves to animal fur, all without having to fill out a border crossing form. Near these borders, the same migrant plants naturally find themselves disseminated here and there without any territorial consideration. It is the seeds of plants like the Proboscidea Louisianica, indigenous to both the Mexican and USA deserts that inspire the forms of the sculptures. The sculptures are made by using the hot sculpted and blown glass techniques and other materials and presented in installations.

‘Of the 100 million metric tons of plastic produced every year, about 10
million end up in the oceans…
The same greenhouse gases causing climate change are also having disastrous effects on the ocean.
Our oceans are absorbing carbon dioxide, rapidly causing them to become more acidic. This is threatening the habitat of every species that calls the ocean home, particularly vulnerable coral as well as many types of plankton, which form the base of the food chain.’ (Greenpeace)
I had a wonderful weekend snorkelling in Cornwall a few weeks ago, and it just reminded me how beautiful the underwater world is. I felt I had to make something to help bring this threatened environment, on which we all depend, to the attention of us landlubbers. It may be out of sight to us for much of the time, but if we allow it to be out of mind too, we risk destroying this relationship, and with it ourselves.

The era BC770 to BC221 in ancient China was well-known by bronzes and other top achievements in Chinese history, such as philosophy or free ideology.

Glass can integrate with other materials like the harmonious connection between my heart and glass. The series pieces try to describe the spirit of that era and also respect for that period.

The UK Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher said in 1987 that there is no such thing as society and then her government proceeded to destroy working communities throughout United Kingdom.
We now live in a world weakened by the lack of strong communities leading to trouble both here in the UK and abroad.
With this in mind we now have a society that is made up of divided communities with a lack of understanding of each other’s needs.
It is important that there should be a coming together encouraged by a programme of help and reconstruction in these communities to bring people together.
These thoughts have inspired this series, A Sense of Community, of figures coming together and holding on and reflecting on what is happening around them.

The Desire and Pursuit of the Whole is called Love
Photographer: Geoff Allwood
Details: Spherical vessel and stopper, in clear crystal, blown to my specification by Bob Crooks. When opened, the caption, in Greek and English, appear on the mating surfaces of the vessel and its stopper.
Inspiration for this work: Plato recounts the story that the gods became angry with mortal beings, and cut everyone in two and cast them adrift in the world and condemned them to search for their "other half"- this is the basis for physical attraction. When the stopper of the vessel is placed in its base, the two halves are re-united in Love

Floresta
Photographer: Adriana Garcia
Details: Bullseye glass and frits, two panels 35(W) x49cm(H)
Day and Night - they meet, they fight for space and finally become one. Light and shadow are part of the same nature, yet they differ. This is the same with people, coming from the most diverse cultures and parts of the world, who have travelled for miles like a piece of driftwood. Yet they get together and become attracted to each other.

Blown, sculpted, diamond engraved.
My internal struggle-achieving the communication with others, pledges to the natural world, perpetually deferred.
These figures represent my constant internal discussion & frustration...to be a better person, to stop my racing thru life, missing all the beauty & communication of & with the natural world.
Even sharing the commonality of these feelings is deferred, as we race thru life.
Yet it's always answered by one singular answer "tomorrow"!

'Merging Minerals'
Photographer: Samantha Donaldson
Details: Blown and Coldworked Glass
Continually inspired by the beauty, infinite variety and elemental link to the past, rocks, minerals and fossils have always fascinated me and assisted me with the development of my new pieces.
Vitreous Minerals share the wonderous lustre of glass, some exhibiting unusual optical phenomena, displaying luminous bands of changing colour, which appear to move as each specimen rotates.
Exaggerating the fluidity that cultivates so many surprises within blown glass, exemplifies the feeling that originally attracted me to work with this material.
I set out to create a relationship between two forms in my 'Merging Minerals'. By marrying an entwined pair, I have truly created something encouragingly thrilling to slice through.

Details: Materials: Furnace Worked Glass and Rainbow Slate. Dimensions: D190mm x L580mm x H200mm
Chrysalis
Two previously liquid materials are amalgamated to create a frozen moment in time.
Manipulated and textured while hot, the exterior surface alluringly veils the mysterious inclusion, which is provocatively exposed by small carefully situated portholes, which with focused observation allow the viewer to appreciate its private world.

"Still Together"
Photographer: Warren King photography
Details: Lost wax and cold worked. Each ring approx 10cm X 3cm total 15cm X 10cm X 10cm
I made 2 sets of linked rings. The first for a wedding present, cut and polished to the nth degree. All whole and sparkly. The second set "Still Together" had broken but not such that the rings could be separated. I rejoiced at this and continued to cold work the rings in a rough manner although the surfaces of the break received a lot of attention to try to make the most out of them. The individual rings are not perfect and have sustained damage yet are inseparable, still together - In Relationship

Details: Sand cast glass with copper inclusions on limestone, 23 x 20 x 4 cm
The copper figures' bases are cast inside the glass, holding them in the 'sea'.
The copper has been patinated into interesting patterns by the heat of the glass.
They are a group or a family, standing together through adversity, having to work together.

Details: Written, engraved and blown by Dominic Fonde.
Safe at Home.
“What time will you be home?”
“Not sure. Late. Sorry. I’ll try not to wake you when I get in”.
“Promise?”
“Promise”.
He always promised and he did his best but at least half the time he woke her. He often ended up working late. She could picture him in his office, watching the screen of the computer, shifting stocks and shares, earning his keep. She meanwhile would retire to bed early, a necessity as her shift at the hospital dragged her out of bed when the world was still shrouded in pre-dawn grey. But she would not really sleep. Not deeply anyway. She would be listening. He would be as good as his word and slip in quietly through the door, doing his best not to wake hear but there was always a tell tale sign that she heard that told her he had arrived home.
In the alcove just to the left of the door was a glass bowl. Small, clear, cheaply, even amateurishly made, it served as the receptacle for their keys and it rang, in a small and cheap sounding way whenever either of them deposited their keys into it. She had picked it up at a jumble sale not long after they were married. It was a charity event organised by a friend and she had bought it not out of any liking for its shape or aesthetic but because it was cheap and allowed her to support the cause without going out of pocket. It had rattled around their house for a month or two, pressed into service first of all holding various things like paperclips or small change, then finally it found its true purpose holding their keys.
Neither of them remarked on this. Neither was consciously aware of the sound their keys made clinking against the glass. The bowl was a detail in their lives. Insignificant in that it was an unloved item but important in that it was one of the hooks on which the threads that bound them together were tangled. Always there was a lessening of ten
