Wall Art

                 Mediterranean Sunset

A large wall piece consisting of two identical mirror image polished planks of seasoned wood cut from an American ornamental hardwood tree; Locust - Robinia (Pseudoacacia).  The tree trunk was acquired by Mike Kemp of Tree Dimension - Meifod, from a garden in Berriew, after it was blown down in the autumn gales of '96.

The internal shape reminded me of the Moorish influences on some of the windows on properties along the coast of the Costa del Sol, in particular the shapes on windows and window trellises found in El Hambra, near Granada.

I have created a fused glass insert consisting of images of the setting sun, blue sea and sky, and the colours of the mountain that is immediately behind Estepona.  The glass insert is boxed in and surrounded by a thin strip of LED lights, which bounce off the crumpled silver foil back.  This creates light and depth to the piece.  You can almost feel the heat of the sun as you look at it.

It is hung from the wall by a sturdy chain.

Height 132.5 cm x 74 cm width with a depth of 7 cm, including light box at rear.

                   Mondrian, style of, in glass

Simple, yet effective, wall piece.  Tack fused triangles and square colours in between black lines.  I have deliberately offset the black lines to create more interest.

With this design, I was trying to replicate the work, and simplicity, of Mondrian.

              All That Jazz

A very complicated creation. - I combed a large piece of glass, which consisted of a number of colours including iridescent green.  I then cut it into 10 cm square tiles.  These were set into a cold rolled, powder coated, steel design created by Phil Rogers of Down to Earth. 

Combing is a very difficult and dangerous process and produces the most amazing effects.  As you are working with red hot molten glass it is impossible to know what the outcome will  be.

                 83 cm from corner to furthest corner. 
                              Approx 47 cm in width

                                              £460
