International Context 28 Andrew Moor Andrew Moor is a glass art consultant, lecturer and author. His books are the definitive guide to architectural glass and where it is at the moment. He has spent the last two decades profiling glass artists and documenting contemporary trends and techniques. His three books map the changes that have occurred in that time. He keeps abreast with what is happening throughout the world and although he is not a glass artisan himself he possibly knows more about architectural glass and where it is heading than anyone else. He gives an informed overview. The interview was conducted in his office and his advice was sought on procuring large commissions. As an art consultant he liaises between client and artist. He matches artists and studios to architectural briefs to produce the best solutions. He suggested keeping in touch with art consultants who are either freelance or employed by large corporations. He advised that artists/designers should promote themselves under their own name e.g. “Lindy Sando “ rather than under a company name. When organizations tender for an expression of interest in a proposed public artwork they are looking for individual artists to come up with design concepts rather than a studio to fabricate the work, so it is best to separate the two. He is passionate about architectural glass and his books and lecture tours have been instrumental in creating awareness and stimulating interest. His three books in chronological order: Contemporary Stained Glass Architectural Glass Art Colour In Architecture Andrew Moor’s website: www.andrewmoor.co.uk Julian Stocks Julian combines graphic design with glass. His main tool of trade is the computer. His work often incorporates computer generated imagery which is etched and sand carved onto float glass. He outsources his work to contract studios such as Proto but often incorporates small handmade pieces that he has produced himself. Using commercial studios to fabricate as well as address the safety and structural aspects gives him more flexibility. He also feels that it could be advantageous if artisans worked together and shared facilities. He collaborates with architects to come up with design solutions which he feels add a human scale and sense of history to buildings. His designs are relevant as well as decorative.His work is sourced from Art Consultants, Corporate Art Agencies and Developers as well as the percentage for the arts schemes.

International Context 29 3.5 Site Visits London Canary Wharf Canary wharf is a reclaimed dock land area of London. It is a new corporate city with high rise headquarters dominating the skyline. Public art has been used to give a human element to an otherwise austere environment. Some of the major works are in glass which is fitting as the predominant building material for the facades is also structural glass. The following installations were viewed. Cabot Square Jeff Bell Four round drums of cast glass placed in an outdoor plaza. They have the appearance of corroded metal.
