 "Meltdown" by David Flower

 

 

The last in the series of works that comment on climate change, beginning with farewell Tuvalu, this sculpture seeks to draw our attention to the polar ice caps. The habitat of many species of animal is changing beyond recognition in the polar regions, the consciousness of humanity should be tuned in to the plight of the animals, plants and human beings that try to exist there. This is not a comment on humanity, the piece merely asks the viewer to think with empathy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

David’s extensive expertise as a craftsman enables him to take on commissions of varied scale and complexity. He has lead on £250,000 sculptures alongside completing chandeliers, dining tables and his own beautiful pieces.

 

As an experienced maker David is in demand to make the work of many other glass designers. He worked closely with the celebrated Peter Layton for many years, symbiotically designing and making for the great man. Now, as ever, David finds that making the work of other artists represents his greatest challenge and Fran Staniland, Katherine Wightman and Gary Webb continue to stretch the master’s abilities.

“There is nothing that is impossible in glass. The material must be listened to, respected and worked with but ultimately will be coaxed into becoming. You cannot force it, but then again you cannot let it force you, you are in a symbiotic relationship with it; if you don’t love it then it will not love you back.” ......
