Final Carrier Forgotten XV : Tall transparent cast glass sculpture, internal veils with engraved carved detail

Year : 2023
Dimensions : H70 x W26.5 x D14 cm

Richard has been making transparent cast glass art works in his Final Carrier Forgotten series since 2003.

His ongoing artistic exploration of the idea of humanities quest for knowledge continues to deliver different visual manifestations of glass sculpture to inspire us.

Gathering, storing and disseminating knowledge has been integral to the growth of healthy societies. This process has taken many forms over the years, employing the technologies of each age.
Developing and combining the physical imagery of sailing ships and computers gives form to this series, while a visual language developed within the context of transparent cast glass explores the storage and display of information.

Final Carrier Forgotten XV featured in Richard and Sally’s joint exhibition, Inspirer Expirer, at the internationally important Musée du Verre Francois Déçorchemont in Conches en Ouche, France in 2023.

Final Carrier Forgotten XV was also selected for the British Glass Biennale main exhibition 2024.

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!

“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.”
