Oblique Echoes I : Commission : arcing fine form Glass garden sculpture

Year : 2010
Dimensions : H160 x W21 x D10 cm

A couple commissioned Sally to create a sculpture for their densely planted English garden.
They wanted their glass sculpture to be a transparent focal point sitting amongst the beautiful leafy planting with a feeling of lightness rising upwards. They also liked the idea of playful optics being created by the form, displacing and moving spaces within the garden, and so presenting different ways of viewing their surroundings. An exciting, yet unexpected rare view of the sun’s rays collecting in the glass of ‘Oblique Echoes’ can be seen only on an evening at midsummer with clear skies.

Cold-working skills open up a world of sculpting glass. We both have years of on the job learning, investing in the right equipment along the way for the work we have wanted to make. There is so much room for creativity in how we work with glass after it is cast. Rising to the challenges creatively keeps potential and quality of outcomes developing.
This large variable speed flatbed is a vital part of making our work. It is a joy to use. It has a beautiful 36 inch flat cast iron plate. We specifically asked for it to not have the fixing nut sticking up so that we can grind large pieces using the whole width of the plate.

Here Richard is grinding the base of a 45 kg sculpture to get its core balance just right.
We achieve this with Sally turning the wheel by hand to get it started and then grinding using a slow mechanised speed. #glasssculpture #jacksonfawkesglass #coldworking #grinding #creativity
