About the Item
Layne Rowe, Solace, 2022
Hot sculpted glass and bespoke metal frame
H 94 x W 120 x D 25 cm
"A fascination and love for birds started early in my life when experiencing the release of trained pigeons. Seeing these birds take flight has stayed with me since childhood. For centuries the power of flight has influenced mythological creatures such as Pegasus and Angels. These glass wings are a symbol of freedom, unity, strength and power, yet providing a sense of humility." - Layne Rowe
This installation has been made up of 90 glass feathers, individually sculpted in clear glass with fine cane work inclusions. Each feather is hung from the bones of the wings, forged beautifully in metal by Ryan Harms.
After completing a degree in 3D design, Layne found an opportunity to work at Peter Layton’s London Glassblowing Studio, where he has inspired an evolving, vibrant and creative environment. Now producing his work at his home studio, highly equipped for all of his making processes.
Layne quotes, ‘I have always been inspired to create and have the desire to use my hands to see creations forming in front of my eyes. Glass is the ultimate medium for speed. It’s alive and requires constant attention and quick decision-making. Glass is a thrilling material to work with, and with its beautiful qualities such as fluidity,
transparency, and with all its colours, it creates its own inspiration.
Layne reverts to childhood memories, His love for birds and Wishing to have the ability to fly with the power of vision and views of the Landscape. Stratus coastlines with its corroded rock formations, and landscapes with layered horizons, as seen in his series ‘Woven’ and ‘New Horizons’. Work inspired by the vast Fenland skies. His love for
detail is a result of intricate cane work with overlays and fine cutting. Sculpted feathers with light, delicate details have led to large-scale wings named “SOLACE” and his Quill n ink series “Ornithology”
Layne has been invited to exhibit in the UK and worldwide, including the V& A, Saatchi gallery and Ebeltoft glass museum, among artists such as Graysen Perry, Alexander McQueen, Lino Tagliapietra and more. He was also awarded the Bavarian State Prize in 2015 for his Woven series.
