Radiance<br />

Ceramic, Glass and wire<br />

40cm x 70cm (approx.)<br />

‘Radiance’ is a mixed media sculpture which<br />

aims to show the shimmering golden light<br />

streaming through the delicate tracery of birch<br />

trees in the autumn. The piece is constructed<br />

from ceramic porcelain paper clay, copper<br />

wire and glass both cut and fused mounted on<br />

a natural oak wooden base. Several different<br />

techniques and processes have been used<br />

and combined together to achieve the finished<br />

piece. The internal light shines through the<br />

cracks and textures in the central ceramic<br />

piece illuminating the fused glass sections and<br />

the coloured glass leaves above. The fragility<br />

of the construction serves to emphasise the<br />

ethereal nature of the delicate birch trees<br />

and the fleeting time available to enjoy this<br />

beautiful autumn light show. The uplifting<br />

emotional reaction to this kaleidoscope of light<br />

and colour is somehow enhanced by<br />

the transience of the moment.<br />
