Max Stewart

Max took a PhD at Edinburgh College of Art in 2010, which investigated the techniques and methodology of the French pate de verre artist Amalric Walter (1870-1959). Max's work is in pate de verre and cast glass. His seminal publication, with colleague Tone Orvik, is entitled 'Pate de Verre: The Material of Time'.

In his uncompromisingly brutal pâte de verre and cast glass work Max Stewart explores his own identity, and in doing so is unafraid to confront issues of gender and sexual experience. Throughout his work Stewart describes the human condition and places the viewer at the heart of the piece.
Max is currently working on a project for the Arts Council of England (ACE).
