Inhale Exhale : Monumental glass spire elevated above a stainless steel structure

Year : 2016
Dimensions : H330 x W25 x D25 cm

The monumental glass spire of Inhale Exhale expresses a single moment of poise, a pause, to breath in and out and experience a moment of calm.

A soaring spire of brilliant optical glass reaching up is cradled and supported by an uplifting stainless steel structure.
The polished surfaces of the stainless steel and glass work together and separately to confuse and delight the eye, where is the boundary of surface, what is inside, what is outside and what is drawn in as a reflection of the surrounding environment.

The surface texture and internal detail of the cast glass add more layers of detail and another language to explore in the form.

Inhale Exhale can be appreciated at a distance as an elegant vertical form, an intriguing ray of light touching the earth, and closer to, as an exciting and complex object which can be explored both visually and by touch.

Inhale Exhale was first exhibited in an exhibition titled ‘Reflection’ at Salisbury Cathedral in 2016. Reflection, curated by Jacquiline Cresswell, challenged the selected artists to respond to the context of the cathedral and its 900-year history.

Richard and Sally were inspired by the architecture and engineering of the tower and spire of Salisbury Cathedral, as well as the personal marks inscribed by the craftsmen onto the fabric of the building that you can still see and touch today.

Inhale Exhale featured in Richard and Sally’s exhibition Inspirer Expirer at the internationally important Musee du Verre Francois Decorchemont, France in 2023.

Inhale Exhale is currently part of Sally and Richard’s exhibition Exhale at Buscot Park, National Trust country house and gardens in Oxfordshire, UK for the duration of their 2024 season. Inhale Exhale is sited on the north lawn in front of the house. Buscot Park

The Contemporary Glass Society are delighted to share that something very exciting is coming to their YouTube channel in the coming weeks. CGS received funding from The Space, Arts Council and The Glass Sellers charity to produce a series of films sharing glass making in the UK, showing some of the different techniques’ artists use, their inspiration, industrial processes and the fantastic community creating inn glass.

CGS worked with Ben from Directed by Good to storyboard their ideas and bring them to life on locations up and down the UK getting up close to huge industrial processes and seeing tiny details being formed in studios, the variety of starting points for many of the artists and the many, many hours of learning, dedication and patience put into producing stunning pieces of glass. As you will see they visited us in Stroud!

Go to the Contemporary Glass Society bio to see the full trailer.

“Women’s Rugby is all about physicality, speed, adaptability and unity. The hits are harder, the game’s faster, and players are backing themselves every time. They’re creative, confident and not afraid to show it. But what stands out is how they stick together and keep pushing the game forward, on and off the field. This trophy represents all of that.”
MAGGIE ALPHONSI - Mastercard Worldwide global rugby ambassador (ENG)
