Flow / turquoise base - Limited Edition of 24 Print

Drawing Flow was a breakthrough moment for me. It was the first piece that spoke directly to the idea of drawing glass, using translucent glazes, and layers of transparencies, that in some way capture the excitement of seeing a great piece of studio glass, or stained glass, in an environment where light plays across and through the surfaces. The idea of trying to catch some of that light and drama in a piece for the wall has been something I’ve been trying to achieve ever since. Flow takes the smallest of glass objects, a child’s marble, and blows it up, with repetition, to make a kind of glazed Op piece that I hope captures a singular lyrical movement as it rises from left to right across the image, twisting and deforming as it does so. Initially I made the silver base and deep base versions, swiftly followed by the triptych, silvered and black variants. It’s become a series that I keep returning to, almost like the shuffle play on an iPod that comes back to the original artist choice every fifth play. .. A fair while after I made the original Flow series, I started looking at the idea of creating a new more saturated variation, with a fairly solid colour base, and after some considerable exploration, came up with this turquoise and copper palette. As is often the way with much of the work, I then put it to one side and ignored it for several years. In the summer of 2018 however, a good friend of the family turned 18, and so I offered him a print for his birthday, and after much deliberation, we decided to try out this study as a pigment print. To my eye the gouache like quality of the pigments make the colours really sing, so I then editioned the study to sit alongside the earlier silvered and black C type works. I hope it makes for a good addition to the series.
