After an arduous and eventful three years it is finally all over!  I never expected that I would be making stained glass but here it is.  As per I managed to make it as large as I possibly could in the time that was available to me.   If you want to see the work properly and with the animation running come to the ECA degree show from the 1st to the 9th of June.  Glass are based in Evolution House on the Lady Lawson Street corner of West Port.

Night View!

Thanks to everybody at Saint Giles who made it possible for me to have my work installed for nearly two weeks, it has been a brilliant experience. This is how my work looked at night from the street.  It has been really excellent speaking to people about my work while loitering outside.  Even non glass people were interested in the process and I've made some excellent contacts!  Future commission imminent, the Frankenstein Pub.  Its always good to stop in at a bar on the way home to see if they need any glass!

Cast in the Past

This is my degree show work, "Cast in the Past."  It used to be called anchored to reality but I opted for a play on words instead.   It's under the stairs in Evolution house if you want to go and see it.  There's a couple more surprises to see in the work.  There are also a few more componants including a blown glass rope that attaches the characters in the window to the glass anchor and the animation I showed earlier in the blog is projected onto the central figures face.

Seven Sisters

I've been running up and down from Evolution House to Saint Giles to switch the  lights on and hide the cables in the day time.  I didn't realize that the Cathedral was going to allow me to have the doors open so that everyone who visited the place would be able to see my work from the inside.  I feel really honored!   My mum was outside last night and apparently a crowd had gathered to look at them in the darkness, I think she may have a tendency towards exaggeration there though.  Its raining tonight but I might go and have a look at the alleged crowd.  I need some pictures for my hand in tomorrow anyway.  Expect a few more art attacks between Saint Giles and ECA over the next couple of weeks!  Thanks to Austy Finnegan for taking the pictures for me!
