Glass Lab – Glass Scholarship, The Glass Foundary, Stroud, 2021. Funded by The Glass Foundary and Creative Scotland Open Fund

The Glass Lab is a school of glass alchemy hosted within The Glass Foundry. It exists to enable the Glass Arts to survive, diversify and develop innovation through collaboration.

My aim was to explore the potential of glass as a material that works with other forms and media within my practice. I experimented with different colour glass, casting them separately with the aim of fusing and slumping abstract forms. I experimented with embossing and used stencils to apply painted pigment and gold leaf.

Lesley Logue Damaged Armour – Eastbury Manor. I was invited to respond to the house and it’s history within the community. The works, 5 resin and bronze cast sculptures and an installation of found arrows, were sited in the East Chamber room, formerly used by Barking Museum to display armoury. The work references trophy displays of hunted animals and at the same time reference armour, playing with the juxtaposition of the vulnerability of animal hide and the protective shield of armour. The exhibition also included the work Misfire, an installation of misfired arrows found buried around outdoor archery ranges.
