Eternal Exchange XXVI : Crystal clear glass sculpture with silver and antique mirror carvings

Year : 2023
Dimensions : L50 x D32 x H14.0 cm

Eternal Exchange XXVI is part of the permanent museum collection of Musée du Verre François Décorchemont.

Sally’s Eternal Exchange series of crystal clear glass sculptures with dynamic energy filled interiors express experiences of earthly, unearthly places.

Sally’s Eternal Exchange series originated in 2018 from Arctic region research sea voyages around northern Norway; initiated by experience of physical motion and interchange of the elements land, sea and sky.

Recently Sally has developed the series to encompass wider research thoughts around continuous energy exchange across hidden depths of the universe, from atoms within ourselves to the matter of black holes. Sally is using crystal clear glass as a metaphor for space.

Sally is working with the fact that light is central to our lives and has so many unique properties and is central to research in sciences and new discoveries with its interaction with matter offers a changing place.
The Latin word for mirror, ‘speculum’ gives us the verb to speculate. Sally’s sculptures invite you to immerse yourself in the complex realm of what you see, what you think you see and so what is potential. Each piece is a timeless, associative narrative, with many possible outcomes.

Eternal Exchange XXVI featured in Sally and Richard’s joint exhibition, Inspirer Expirer, at the internationally important Musée du Verre François Décorchemont in Conches-en-Ouche in Normandy, France in 2023.

Eternal Exchange XXVI has since been acquired by Musée du Verre François Décorchemont for its permanent collection.

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.”
