New Artists and reviews
Recent projects have been my series of small transparent, highly polished, cast shapes with dichroic veiling inside them, entitled ‘Aurora Borealis’, cast bowls & fused glass crystal edged bowls. I have also been experimenting with chemical reactions in glass.
We have built up our contemporary glass collection by David swapping work with other international artists and buying smaller pieces from exhibitions.
We also have an extensive 20th century British made glass collection, including Stewart’s Webb’s and Monart glass.
My recent work is based on landscape and seasons. I have recently begun framing some of my work, which makes it easier to display. I still make some bowls, but mainly abstract pieces. I am now designing some pieces for outside.
As an artist, I strive to create singular remarkable fine art mosaics, conveying emotion, beauty, and meaning. I believe my mosaics provide the opportunity to inspire creativity and contemplation in my audience.
As a stained-glass artist and designer, I have carried out a number of commissions for windows, front doors and hanging panels. The glass may be fused, textured or painted, leaded or copper-foiled.
Recently I completed several panels in a Deco style including a large stained glass sculpture, Deco Shard.
I have contributed to a number of stained glass projects in school and colleges in Essex : at Colchester Six Form College, St Luke’s Primary School in Tiptree, and recently this year, St Mary’s Church in Wivenhoe.
Pat is currently working on a series of cast glass pieces depicting the beauty which can be seen in age. We live in a society seemingly obsessed with a desire to hang on to the illusion of youth, frequently resulting in a level of uniformity and blandness. But a crumbling wall has so much more character than a new one, and a wrinkled face tells more stories than an unlined one!
