About the Item

Layne Rowe, Picking Daisies, 2025 Hot sculpted glass cut polished and assembled with lampworked daisies H 15.5 x W 8 x D 7 cm (6.10 × 3.15 × 2.76 in) Original artwork Picking Daisies is a beautiful marriage between peace and war; acting as the pin, the delicate daisy is the only thing maintaining tranquillity. The intricately replicated grenades have been hand-sculpted with extreme precision, offering an alternative to the anger and conflict that consume 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, alongside artists such as Grayson Perry, Alexander McQueen, Lino Tagliapietra, and more. He was also awarded the Bavarian State Prize in 2015 for his Woven series.
