We worked with fusing glass, adding different grades of crushed and powdered glass to build up layers of colour.<br />

The glass really comes to life once it has been fired in the kiln. The powders become thin, subtle tints and the crushed glass makes intense spots of colours. By mixing and layering the materials, you can get some beautiful results...<br />

At night the sculpture will be illuminated internally, which is good, as back lit glass looks gorgeous. But if you think of a church stained glass window, the colours don't show up from the outside, so I have had to come up with a system that works during the day when the glass is not illuminated.</div>

I have tested layering up different types of translucent white glass with the coloured and clear glass so some colour and the etched images are clear when not back lit... </div>

It's not straightforward, as some of the colours are much more opaque than others (e.g. the green above), and some of the white glass changes the hue of the colour. For example, opal glass is wonderful on reds/yellows, but makes blue glass appear brown when backlit! </div>
<br />
In the finished sculpture, the etched glass circles will form a coloured pattern based on a section of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_microwave_background">Cosmic Microwave Background</a><br />

There will be hundreds of smaller glass circles in the final sculpture, and so I asked the children to make simple designs based on the elements (there are 118 known elements at the time of writing).</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;">These can be widely accepted theories, but
I’d love to use ideas from work that is being carried out within the </span><a href="http://www.southandvale.gov.uk/sciencevale/" style="text-indent: -18pt;">Science Vale</a><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">. </span></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A couple of technical points:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>I'm using an etch process to make the glass designs. High-contrast monochrome images work best.</li>
<li>The biggest circles are only 5cm diameter, so succinct or representative info is ideal.</li>
<li>The quality of the etch is roughly equivalent to paperback book print, so design text should be at least 2mm tall, and very fine lines won't show.</li>
<li>JPEG images approx. 1000px would be good, and please indicate what each image is of. </li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
The best place to submit images is the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ReachGWP/" target="_blank">facebook</a> page.<br />
<br />
There are 600+ circles, so feel free to contribute as many images as you like.</div>

Many thanks!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve made some changes to the <i>Reach</i> sculpture design...the original proposal had a sharp, hard-edged style. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As I’ve been researching the science theme, I think it’ll be better to take a step on from simple straight-line geometry to something more interesting and relevant. The refined design is still in keeping with the idea of radiating growth, but now has a curved form which is inspired by the shape of the expanding universe. </div>

It's a balancing act in the kiln to get the layers to fuse together well and to not degrade the image by overheating it. 760°C seems to be the answer.<br />

<br />
From this foundation I've now produced three three initial sculpture designs.<br />
<br />
Rather than make a piece that directly represents any one of the great scientific endeavours local to Didcot, the public artwork aims to celebrate the “Science Vale” as a whole.<br />

As an alternative to etched metal, the front surface of the hand could be facets of plate glass, with sandblasted patterns of text and imagery.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another option is for the surface to be made with thick cast glass panels. Original designs with diagrams, formulae etc. would be made in clay slabs, then reproduced in thick cast glass. Illuminated from within, these would create a spectacular and colourful effect.</div>

Stepping into the sculpture reveals a completely different experience. The top half of the sculpture is internally mirrored, creating a wonderful kaleidoscopic effect.Looking up into the tapering form creates the illusion of a massive globe, of which the sculpture is a fraction of the size, built up from colour with radiating lines of light.<br />

At night the nature of the internal reflections is changed, with a dark “globe”instead of light that responds to the viewer moving and shading the various light sources.<br />

During my sessions at UTC Oxfordshire with students and residents, discussions arose of how the public artwork might represent science as an overall endeavour.<br />

Personally, I find it hugely inspiring that scientists are improving human knowledge, and finding ways to apply this knowledge practically. Whilst any particular scientist or team will be focused on a particular task or theory, they are also part of a network of peers. This network extends internationally as specialisms and branches of science overlap, creating a global expansion of knowledge.<br />
<br />
This concept of human understanding improving from the sum of many individual endeavours is what I seek to embody with this design.<br />

Scientists use an array of tools to study nature, and this artwork is all about looking at things in different ways in order to discover their properties.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The idea for this artwork came about during my first session at UTC Oxfordshire, as one student tried different compositions with her crystal design. Another participant’s study of a DNA molecule is also very much in keeping with the overall concept.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
All the students’ artworks were inspired by local science centres, with particularly strong visual prompts from the <a href="http://www.ccfe.ac.uk/">Culham Centre for Fusion Energy</a> and <a href="http://www.diamond.ac.uk/">Diamond Light Source</a>.</div>

So those are my initial ideas, and if you have any comments or ideas, I would love to hear them. <br />
<br />
All being well, over the next few weeks we will finalise a location and which will enable me to start working out a detailed sculpture design.<br />
