Live –                     6th May

From the smallest microbe to the biggest animal on earth – the Antarctic blue whale – we all experience the cycle of life from birth through to death.  Shakespeare wrote about the 7 ages of man – the infant, the schoolboy, the lover, the soldier, the justice, the pantaloon and old age.  The rhythm of life has a powerful beat so show us your journey through the natural world – even your glass pieces go through a cycle of creation!

I work with glass powders and carving tools to create mushrooms, lichen, bark, leaves and more without the use of moulds. I rely on heat and gravity in the kiln to create shapes that mirror the life cycle of the forest floor. I leave the real forest floor in place and rely on imagination to create

Description: Lustleigh Woods which is a section of Temperate Rain Forest. I was totally mesmerised by the layers of foliage and trees, bogs and ferns and knew I needed to capture it in glass. This piece was conceived as a 'diorama'- with 4 layers pulling you deeper in the forest and enabling you to feel the lushness and depth of greenery and lush wonder that our temperate rainforest contain.

Title:Message in a Bottle

Description: Scientific glassworking is now an endangered craft in Britain and by incorporating these techniques into this body of work a parallel is drawn between the devastation of coral reefs (coral bleaching) and the loss of scientific glass blowing. Both are being eroded by time and the collection allows for a contemplation upon this, as well as a hope to raise awareness to these issues.

Title:The Blossom and the Bee

Description: Inspired by my workshop teaching in schools, the panel is a metaphor for the cycle of education and the waning of fashions; the full spring cherry blossom flower turning, petals blowing in the wind, the autumn leaves and the fresh buds. The attentive bee represents the teacher, working valiantly to keep interest, rekindle growth, and inspire the next generation of glass artist.

Title:Beautiful Day

Description: The Day Lily is so named because its flowers emerge, expand, and fade in a single day.

These 6 lily flowers express life, from birth to withering, of any living thing. Each stage has its own special beauty: the buds fat with promise; the glory of the open flower, the delicacy of curled tissue-like petals.

Title:Seahorses

Description: Each seahorse was made using a mixture of clear crushed glass and 15 different coloured glass frits and powders which were laid onto the kiln shelf. The perforated structure is designed to convey the skeletal form and often translucent nature of the seahorse. Numerous experiments were done to achieve the desired size and shape of the ‘holes’ before the final three were created and kiln fired.

Contact: Lynn Purcell

Details: These glass seahorses are designed to be wall mounted with a stand off being used as the eyes which are of variable diameters and depths so they hang 2-4cms away from the wall.

Description: Sunset in Paradise is a vibrant and dynamic fused glass sculpture. By harnessing the transformative power of heat, through meticulous layering of powders, and custom slumping techniques, I was able to create a work that speaks to the beauty of the natural world.

Description: This grouping has a silent dialogue between the nautilus structures, their hollow chambers echoing an unknown relationship allowing the viewer to draw close and bring their own imaginings. The stoic discourse aims to visualise the moment of tension between isolation, containment and distancing with the recent varying reasons for feeling so.

Description: This vessel was inspired by the plant bog asphodel (Narthecium ossifragum) that have star-like flowers in a bright yellow with vibrant orange accents.

In Greek mythology, asphodel was a symbol of the underworld and mourning while in Scottish folklore, it was thought that livestock grazing on this plant developed brittle bones. But it was the calcium poor pasture that was the true culprit.

Title:Generations

Description: The circle of life is a recurring theme in my work. "Generations" is a good example of this interest. I work with glass powders and carving tools to create mushrooms, lichen, bark, leaves and more without the use of moulds. I rely on heat and gravity in the kiln to create shapes that mirror the life cycle of the forest floor. I leave the real forest floor in place and rely on imagination to create

Title:Message in a Bottle

Description: Scientific glassworking is now an endangered craft in Britain and by incorporating these techniques into this body of work a parallel is drawn between the devastation of coral reefs (coral bleaching) and the loss of scientific glass blowing. Both are being eroded by time and the collection allows for a contemplation upon this, as well as a hope to raise awareness to these issues.

Title:The Blossom and the Bee

Description: Inspired by my workshop teaching in schools, the panel is a metaphor for the cycle of education and the waning of fashions; the full spring cherry blossom flower turning, petals blowing in the wind, the autumn leaves and the fresh buds. The attentive bee represents the teacher, working valiantly to keep interest, rekindle growth, and inspire the next generation of glass artist.

Some research suggests life might have emerged in primordial glaciers.
As it moves through the water cycle, water changes from a liquid to a solid (ice).

Title:Beautiful Day

Description: The Day Lily is so named because its flowers emerge, expand, and fade in a single day.

These 6 lily flowers express life, from birth to withering, of any living thing. Each stage has its own special beauty: the buds fat with promise; the glory of the open flower, the delicacy of curled tissue-like petals.

Title:Seahorses

Description: Each seahorse was made using a mixture of clear crushed glass and 15 different coloured glass frits and powders which were laid onto the kiln shelf. The perforated structure is designed to convey the skeletal form and often translucent nature of the seahorse. Numerous experiments were done to achieve the desired size and shape of the ‘holes’ before the final three were created and kiln fired.

Contact: Lynn Purcell

Details: These glass seahorses are designed to be wall mounted with a stand off being used as the eyes which are of variable diameters and depths so they hang 2-4cms away from the wall.

Description: This grouping has a silent dialogue between the nautilus structures, their hollow chambers echoing an unknown relationship allowing the viewer to draw close and bring their own imaginings.

Description: This vessel was inspired by the plant bog asphodel (Narthecium ossifragum) that have star-like flowers in a bright yellow with vibrant orange accents.

In Greek mythology, asphodel was a symbol of the underworld and mourning while in Scottish folklore, it was thought that livestock grazing on this plant developed brittle bones. But it was the calcium poor pasture that was the true culprit.
