Planes of Motion : Clear reflective glass garden sculpture

Year : 2011
Dimensions : H207 x W80 x D40 cm

Clear reflective glass hovers at eye level mid way where two curves of stainless steel elegantly part again and curve up towards the sky.

The clear glass is highly reflective offering changing reflected images when you see the sculpture from different view points. The volume of the clear reflective glass has been carved into and soft engraved patterns have been worked around the outer edge of the glass.

We all refer to degrees, levels and planes of emotion and compassion, understanding and perception, but how do we transition from a feeling of mild joy to one of extreme euphoria or between a lesser or greater understanding of something.

An experience of some kind must occur to stimulate a change of some description. Sometimes all you need is a slight movement to see a new aspect of something long known, or to see something completely new.

Planes of motion is a physical representation of the concept behind this idea.

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

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)

We are immensely proud to have created these Player of the Match trophies for the 32 Women’s Rugby World Cup matches currently being hosted in England.
