Current Exhibition
DESTRUCTION/CONSTRUCTION
We asked members if their work was smashed, flattened, crumpled or collapsed?
Or whether their work was a piece of something new by crushing traditional forms or breaking work apart?
We had a wonderful response and for the show, 30 Contemporary Glass Society Members were selected and put forward.
This show is edgey, sharp, and crisp. It shows care but also random acts of glassmaking and the sense of fluidity that glass reveals at times.
Thank you to all those that submitted work.
The show was launched on the 16th of June 2017.

"Until the last drop"
Photographer: Jean THEBAULT
Details: Drop is 32 cm Hight 20 cm Diameter . The installation's dimensions are about 150 cm x 120 cm x 120 cm.
The aim of this work is to denounce the ways in which modern societies waste water, either by polluting it or simply by excessively using it. Water is fragile and the humans's hands should rather protect it."Until the last drop" is a sculptural piece which celebrate the beauty of water and its importance for life. It is linked with almost everything on our planet and we definitely need to take care of it. Water is part of a big cycle and can be seen differently depending on its environment : liquid, steam,fog, dew, snow,or even ice. Nevertheless, human societies act on this environment and pure water becomes rarer... would we waste more of it???
...until the last drop ?

She Turned Her Back
Photographer: Ester Segarra
Details: Kiln formed glass
This piece begins with a square of fine glass rods, woven together to mimic the flexibility and movement of cloth. The sheet of woven glass is then stretched, torn, rumpled and crumpled. I do this to explore the damage that occurs as a result of ordinary use that is natural and inevitable. Damage that is natural and inevitable due to decay and the ravages of time.

Glass Works from Shanghai China
Details: 96*23*16cm, Casting and fusing
I think there must be some Oriental roots in my subconsciousness as I grew up here. However, I don’t like to mirror or materialize them in clichéd Chinese symbols in my works. I hope my works can combine the implicative and realistic aspects into one. For example, the “BC” series was inspired by the ancient bronzes of China, so I tried to use glass and copper at the same time in my work. Another, the “Tune” series, was prompted by my enamoring of the crisp sound of glass.

Just a Pawn II
Details: Lost Wax Cast Glass with found object
Deconstruct a billiard table, model wax head & arms, cast head & arms, Construct new work.
“In life we are pushed and pulled, twisted and turned, and often manipulated to other people’s ends. Are we sometimes pieces in a game? Do we need to know the rules and how to break these?”
“Found objects have been an important part of my work over the years and an inspiration to modern art in the 20th century. In the Just A Pawn series, I have used reclaimed turned wood from the Victorian era to make new body forms for this work.
With the images of chess pieces in mind, I am asking the question, are we pawns in a game? Or can we recognise other people as pawns. Who is being manipulated in our society and by whom?”

Welling over
Details: Fused and slumped recycled glass
This piece came from the need to use up much of the scrap glass in the studio. The idea of flow and expansion suited the techniques and the transformative processes used. Initially the individual pieces were heavily kiln carved, but after joining them altogether and flattening them out with heat, the shape became a cascade of glass.

Stormy Sea
Photographer: Photo by Shaun Tierney, See through sand
Details: Bullseye glass, melted, dammed and boiled. Oak stand.
Mesh melts are an amazing way to recycle glass into something new, but the challenge is in matching a brief! Apart from destructing older, less successful pieces with a hammer, this version went through several additional processes – a structured drop, melting twice, boiling and stretching to fit a dammed shape.
Result – a stormy North Sea oceanic wave.

The blending of the senses
Photographer: Simon Bruntnell
Details: 60cm x 50cm float glass Mid-Air Slump
Synaesthesia is a condition whereby one sense can be stimulated by other senses, e.g. visualising colour whilst hearing sounds. It is a neurological condition, which may help explain the complexities of the human mind. Within this work, I would like to create a colourful representation of the mind living with Synaesthesia and the signals passing through the brain : The blending of the senses. I wanted to work on a large scale and have developed my work using high temperature and gravity. I am eager to push boundaries and go beyond the limits of the material. The internal activity, delicate detail and fragility are very evident within the work.

I Could Fall Apart At Any Moment, Sculpture
Photographer: Kira Phoenix K'inan
Details: Broken Float Glass, Breeze Blocks and Wood.
‘I Could Fall Apart At Any Moment’ explores the moment when everything is balanced perfectly, but like a house of cards, could come crashing down at the slightest movement. And if the work does break, what is the value of the work then? Does it still have value? Or is the value in the moment of perfect balance before the fall?

Good and Bad Times (unused shot)
Photographer: Photo by Stuart Rayner
Details: Photograph of glass vase holding flowers shattering as it hits the floor after being dropped from a height of six feet.
In 2006, preparing for the second British Glass Biennale I had the idea of a short story that explored the image of a glass vase being dropped. The moment it hit the floor and shatters would be punctuation for the highs and lows of a persons life, the news of a bereavement perhaps or the birth of a grandchild. The title was Good and Bad times. As is often the way, the story of getting the image was more interesting than the short story I wrote. Not wishing to break a vase I had blown myself I bought a mass produced vase for a couple of quid at a supper market and as my photographer got ready with his camera I threw it from the top of a ladder. It bounced. Again and again and again. As a metaphor for combining strength and fragility you simply cannot do better than glass. It can be delicate as a wine glass or tough enough to stop a bullet. The subsequent images have been used over the years in reprints of that story and in talks I give on the fascinating material properties of glass We got ten or more images that day until we decided to score the vase with a glass cutter. That finally persuaded it to break. Still there are unused images. This is one of them.

"Until the last drop"
Photographer: Jean THEBAULT
Details: Drop is 32 cm Hight 20 cm Diameter . The installation's dimensions are about 150 cm x 120 cm x 120 cm.
The aim of this work is to denounce the ways in which modern societies waste water, either by polluting it or simply by excessively using it. Water is fragile and the humans's hands should rather protect it."Until the last drop" is a sculptural piece which celebrate the beauty of water and its importance for life. It is linked with almost everything on our planet and we definitely need to take care of it. Water is part of a big cycle and can be seen differently depending on its environment : liquid, steam,fog, dew, snow,or even ice. Nevertheless, human societies act on this environment and pure water becomes rarer... would we waste more of it???

It is linked with almost everything on our planet and we definitely need to take care of it. Water is part of a big cycle and can be seen differently depending on its environment : liquid, steam,fog, dew, snow,or even ice. Nevertheless, human societies act on this environment and pure water becomes rarer... would we waste more of it???
...until the last drop ?

She Turned Her Back
Photographer: Ester Segarra
Details: Kiln formed glass
This piece begins with a square of fine glass rods, woven together to mimic the flexibility and movement of cloth. The sheet of woven glass is then stretched, torn, rumpled and crumpled. I do this to explore the damage that occurs as a result of ordinary use that is natural and inevitable. Damage that is natural and inevitable due to decay and the ravages of time.

Glass Works from Shanghai China
Details: 96*23*16cm, Casting and fusing
I think there must be some Oriental roots in my subconsciousness as I grew up here. However, I don’t like to mirror or materialize them in clichéd Chinese symbols in my works. I hope my works can combine the implicative and realistic aspects into one. For example, the “BC” series was inspired by the ancient bronzes of China, so I tried to use glass and copper at the same time in my work. Another, the “Tune” series, was prompted by my enamoring of the crisp sound of glass.

Deconstruct a billiard table, model wax head & arms, cast head & arms, Construct new work.
“In life we are pushed and pulled, twisted and turned, and often manipulated to other people’s ends. Are we sometimes pieces in a game? Do we need to know the rules and how to break these?”
“Found objects have been an important part of my work over the years and an inspiration to modern art in the 20th century. In the Just A Pawn series, I have used reclaimed turned wood from the Victorian era to make new body forms for this work.
With the images of chess pieces in mind, I am asking the question, are we pawns in a game? Or can we recognise other people as pawns. Who is being manipulated in our society and by whom?”

Welling over
Details: Fused and slumped recycled glass
This piece came from the need to use up much of the scrap glass in the studio. The idea of flow and expansion suited the techniques and the transformative processes used. Initially the individual pieces were heavily kiln carved, but after joining them altogether and flattening them out with heat, the shape became a cascade of glass.

Details: Bullseye glass, melted, dammed and boiled. Oak stand.
Mesh melts are an amazing way to recycle glass into something new, but the challenge is in matching a brief! Apart from destructing older, less successful pieces with a hammer, this version went through several additional processes – a structured drop, melting twice, boiling and stretching to fit a dammed shape.
Result – a stormy North Sea oceanic wave.

The blending of the senses
Photographer: Simon Bruntnell
Details: 60cm x 50cm float glass Mid-Air Slump
Synaesthesia is a condition whereby one sense can be stimulated by other senses, e.g. visualising colour whilst hearing sounds. It is a neurological condition, which may help explain the complexities of the human mind. Within this work, I would like to create a colourful representation of the mind living with Synaesthesia and the signals passing through the brain : The blending of the senses. I wanted to work on a large scale and have developed my work using high temperature and gravity. I am eager to push boundaries and go beyond the limits of the material. The internal activity, delicate detail and fragility are very evident within the work.

I Could Fall Apart At Any Moment, Sculpture
Photographer: Kira Phoenix K'inan
Details: Broken Float Glass, Breeze Blocks and Wood.
‘I Could Fall Apart At Any Moment’ explores the moment when everything is balanced perfectly, but like a house of cards, could come crashing down at the slightest movement. And if the work does break, what is the value of the work then? Does it still have value? Or is the value in the moment of perfect balance before the fall?

Good and Bad Times (unused shot)
Photographer: Photo by Stuart Rayner
Details: Photograph of glass vase holding flowers shattering as it hits the floor after being dropped from a height of six feet.
In 2006, preparing for the second British Glass Biennale I had the idea of a short story that explored the image of a glass vase being dropped. The moment it hit the floor and shatters would be punctuation for the highs and lows of a persons life, the news of a bereavement perhaps or the birth of a grandchild. The title was Good and Bad times. As is often the way, the story of getting the image was more interesting than the short story I wrote. Not wishing to break a vase I had blown myself I bought a mass produced vase for a couple of quid at a supper market and as my photographer got ready with his camera I threw it from the top of a ladder. It bounced. Again and again and again. As a metaphor for combining strength and fragility you simply cannot do better than glass. It can be delicate as a wine glass or tough enough to stop a bullet. The subsequent images have been used over the years in reprints of that story and in talks I give on the fascinating material properties of glass We got ten or more images that day until we decided to score the vase with a glass cutter. That finally persuaded it to break. Still there are unused images. This is one of them.
