About the Item

Layne Rowe, Picking Daisies, 2023 Hot sculpted glass, cut polished and assembled with lampworked daisies H 15.5 x W 8 x D 7 cm Picking Daisies is a beautiful marriage between peace and war; acting as the pin, the delicate daisy is the only thing maintaining tranquillity. The intricate replicated grenades have been hand-sculpted with extreme precision, advocating an alternative to the anger and conflict that consumes our world. Formed from several different pieces, each section has been achieved by creating hot-formed sculpted elements, which have then been carved and polished to the required shape and size. 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.

    Phed Wall-mounted, hollow concrete heart sculpture Hand-signed by the artist Original artwork This wall-mounted, sculptural work is in the shape of a large heart which appears to be made of brick and covered in concrete render. However the bricks are thin ceramic tiles, laid on a hollow fibreglass shell, meaning the work is lighter than expected, and easily wall mounted with the use of a backing plate provided. The work has an urban feel, suggesting inner city decay. The graffiti refers to an underground street artist who met an untimely death. Brighton-based sculptor Simon Shepherd...
