A glass sculpture, cast in white glass. A pyramid appearing to be encased in ribbed fabric, its geometry softened by twists and folds. The black grid creates a barrier obscuring the clear glass and embedded silver. One of my art glass series of ‘A dialogue at the threshold’.

A dramatic white glass sculpture! A four-sided cast glass pyramid with the texture of ribbed fabric -which is what it is cast from!
A geometric shape softened by the folds and twists of the material. The black grid creates both a contrast and a barrier. It obscures the clear glass and the layer of silver beneath. This is cast in dense white glass.
First I made a model of the whole piece and cast it in plaster ready for firing. And then I fired the black glass grid in my mould with clear glass.
After I put in a sheet of very thin silver followed by the white glass and refired it.
As with all my pieces, the mould is broken away. Followed by cold working (my least favourite part!)
I’ve been working on this series for several years and find it fascinating!
A form encloses an inner space and is the boundary to the outside. Where there is an opening, this links the two. The viewer is drawn into my dense glass boxes by the allure of silver or gold. The interplay between the interior and the exterior articulates a dialogue at the threshold.
A wonderful addition to a collection of glass sculpture.
