H11 x D17.5cm, smoke grey glass overlaid on clear lead crystal, blown to my design by Potter Morgan Glass, cut, polished and wheel engraved 2015. In August the nesting swallows have hatched their young and by the end of the month are clustering together, preparing for the long flight south for the winter. A strong light will throw a black shadow of the bowl with white birds, a very satisfying contrast to the bowl colours.

Cornish Coughs
Photographer: Richard Roberts
Details: Fused 'Bullseye' glass, powders & glassline pen & sandblasted. 32H x 48W cm.
These birds are on Cornwall's coat of arms but had for a period become extinct in the county.
But they have returned with the help of a re-introduction scheme, which also coincided with wild birds moving in from Brittany by their own accord.
They are real characters and seem to enjoy flying and tumbling for the sheer joy of it.

9am Sunday morning
Photographer: Dominic Fonde
Details: Drill engraved on sheet glass size A3
Birds have fascinated me for a long time and have appeared consistently in my artwork since 2010. They are the wild animal that we have the most contact with on a day-to-day basis. Sparrows, crows, magpies, robins, sea gulls and pigeons all share our urban spaces often with very little fear or even regard for us, yet they remain utterly wild and undomesticated.
This image is a case in point. One Sunday morning, walking though the centre of Kobe I encountered a man, punk rock skinny, reeking of cigarettes and whisky and eyes that were just dark pits after staying up all night long. Everything about him spelled trouble. He acted as if he owned the street, until he startled one of gigantic crows that inhabit all Japanese side streets. Unperturbed, the crow showed us who was really the boss.

Details: Layered glass monumental sculpture (2500x600x500mm)
We can only experience and appreciate a tranquil state once we have been thourgh a storm… It is a state as fine and as purposeful as a bird's feather…
Feather, by large, consists of two complementing, yet structurally very distinctive parts: the solid and the plastic. The solid part is central. It is the constructive element yielding a profound force which allows maintaining flight for long distances. The plastic, visually light part represents the human desire for flight, for freedom. Haven't you caught yourself envying a free flying bird, wondering where you'd fly, if only you could?

Details: Cast Glass, oil paint, cord. 2015
This piece is inspired by my residency at Skokholm Island Bird Observatory. At the observatory birds are ringed as part of the British Trust for Ornithology bird ringing scheme, which provides vital information about bird migration and survival globally.
Once the birds have been caught, they are placed in cloth bags for a short time to keep them calm and protected while they wait to be ringed, weighed and measured.
It is always exciting to see what bird comes out of the bag and I decided to make a piece which revealed the bird inside the bag.
This piece is part of a series which is currently in progress.

Photographer: Copyright: Sarah Davis 2016
Details: Kiln carved, sandblasted and painted glass panel
This bird was created as part of a triptych for an exhibition at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust in Slimbridge, Gloucestershire, UK. The design was intended to capture the strength and elegance of the hundreds of swans which visit the reserve every year, often travelling thousands of miles over land and sea. The use of kiln carving and sandblasting enabled the lightness of feathers to be portrayed giving a 3D effect on a two dimensional panel. Size approx. 650mm x 600mm.

Details: 27cmH x26cmWx17cm D
Lost wax cast glass with found object
Throughout history humankind has had a deep and often mystical relationship with birds. They have been seen as Innocent companions and for tellers of our future. In this series this innocence is questioned. The bird in these pieces has become a symbol for unreliability and mistrust in our society suggestive of how information can be used against us. In each piece you are unsure if the relationship or conversation is all that it seems. Is the bird a passive listener or an agent who will misuse the information being relayed?
The strange little ceramic figurines or found objects I have used have a dark innocence of their own. Although they are mass produced and quickly hand painted in a spontaneous way, they have a quality and colour tone that lends itself well to this new body of work.

The final form of the piece is of something familiar, found in nature, yet the use of glass adds the dimension of surprise for this container for new life. The fragile vessel nestling eggs cast from enduring bronze.

These birds are on Cornwall's coat of arms but had for a period become extinct in the county.
But they have returned with the help of a re-introduction scheme, which also coincided with wild birds moving in from Brittany by their own accord.
They are real characters and seem to enjoy flying and tumbling for the sheer joy of it.

9am Sunday morning
Photographer: Dominic Fonde
Details: Drill engraved on sheet glass size A3
Birds have fascinated me for a long time and have appeared consistently in my artwork since 2010. They are the wild animal that we have the most contact with on a day-to-day basis. Sparrows, crows, magpies, robins, sea gulls and pigeons all share our urban spaces often with very little fear or even regard for us, yet they remain utterly wild and undomesticated.
This image is a case in point. One Sunday morning, walking though the centre of Kobe I encountered a man, punk rock skinny, reeking of cigarettes and whisky and eyes that were just dark pits after staying up all night long. Everything about him spelled trouble. He acted as if he owned the street, until he startled one of gigantic crows that inhabit all Japanese side streets. Unperturbed, the crow showed us who was really the boss.

follows the familiar motif of the bird as it escapes from its 19th century scenery and explores new
surroundings. Decorative floral motifs, inspired by original cameo designs, have been infiltrated by
modern day imagery.

Post Procella
Photographer: Martins Plume
Details: Layered glass monumental sculpture (2500x600x500mm)
We can only experience and appreciate a tranquil state once we have been thourgh a storm… It is a state as fine and as purposeful as a bird's feather…
Feather, by large, consists of two complementing, yet structurally very distinctive parts: the solid and the plastic. The solid part is central. It is the constructive element yielding a profound force which allows maintaining flight for long distances. The plastic, visually light part represents the human desire for flight, for freedom. Haven't you caught yourself envying a free flying bird, wondering where you'd fly, if only you could?

Redwing
Photographer: Linda Norris
Details: Cast Glass, oil paint, cord. 2015
This piece is inspired by my residency at Skokholm Island Bird Observatory. At the observatory birds are ringed as part of the British Trust for Ornithology bird ringing scheme, which provides vital information about bird migration and survival globally.
Once the birds have been caught, they are placed in cloth bags for a short time to keep them calm and protected while they wait to be ringed, weighed and measured.
It is always exciting to see what bird comes out of the bag and I decided to make a piece which revealed the bird inside the bag.
This piece is part of a series which is currently in progress.

Photographer: Copyright: Sarah Davis 2016
Details: Kiln carved, sandblasted and painted glass panel
This bird was created as part of a triptych for an exhibition at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust in Slimbridge, Gloucestershire, UK. The design was intended to capture the strength and elegance of the hundreds of swans which visit the reserve every year, often travelling thousands of miles over land and sea. The use of kiln carving and sandblasting enabled the lightness of feathers to be portrayed giving a 3D effect on a two dimensional panel. Size approx. 650mm x 600mm.

Lost wax cast glass with found object
Throughout history humankind has had a deep and often mystical relationship with birds. They have been seen as Innocent companions and for tellers of our future. In this series this innocence is questioned. The bird in these pieces has become a symbol for unreliability and mistrust in our society suggestive of how information can be used against us. In each piece you are unsure if the relationship or conversation is all that it seems. Is the bird a passive listener or an agent who will misuse the information being relayed?
The strange little ceramic figurines or found objects I have used have a dark innocence of their own. Although they are mass produced and quickly hand painted in a spontaneous way, they have a quality and colour tone that lends itself well to this new body of work.
