Centre, a façade modelled on a historically contested high-rise building in London, is a large-scale cut and assembled glass sculpture consisting of over 4000 unique parts. The innovative process behind the work is the use of waterjet cutting on kilnformed glass to create low relief surfaces, fused together using precisely controlled kiln firing.

Waterjet cut glass, steel, rubber

400 x 130 x 130 cm

Collaboration with Erin Dickson

Based in North East England, the artists share a fascination with cultural and emotional connections to architecture. In Emotional Leak, the artists have produced the physical manifestation of a slowly leaking roof. Inspired by water, the resulting form is a four metre-tall black monolithic sculpture, made from stacked glass layers to resemble a digital gothic architectural model.
