About The Artwork

Made from a variety of different coloured Dalles that were cast in the 1960s and initially intended for the Dalle de Verre windows made by Henry Haig for Clifton Cathedral, Bristol. The work was devised to give voice to the gap in time between when these Dalles were made and now and the London Underground map was used as a metaphor for this. The underground lines are seen by the gaps between the cut and facetted Dalles, and in turn the Dalles are the coloured rather then the normally coloured underground lines to emphasises the ‘black hole’ in which these Dalles existed before they became part of this artwork. The glass is surrounded by epoxy resin with grey grit on the reverse in homage to the way many Dalle de Verre stained glass windows were constructed. The front of the work in textured with paint that shows small holes in the resin which are there to express the awareness of Dalle de Verre slowly bubbling to the surface of public recognition. PLEASE NOTE: Panel is 1" (30mm) deep, feet on which it stands extend to 10" (250mm) front and back.

David loves bright colours and their interplay with light. His favourite colour is orange which apparently makes him a social butterfly. Also, people who love orange are considered to be non-judgmental and not ‘intense’. They are generally kind, warm and optimistic. They love freedom and adventure and prefer to socialise with like-minded individuals. All that kind of sums David up! David originally worked in the Wine Trade for many years and only began his career in stained glass back in 2001. It was then that he took an evening class and became so enamoured with the craft that what soon became an all-encompassing hobby eventually turned into a full-time career. As well as running the studio, David is a visiting lecturer on the MSc in Building Conservation at the Weald and Downland Living Museum where he teaches stained glass and leaded light restoration. At his old University, he lectures on Dalle de Verre stained glass to the MA Architectural Design students. On a, less formal basis, David teaches stained glass novices through the courses he runs at his studio, Charleston Farmhouse and The Weald and Downland Living Museum. Not satisfied by all that, he mentors students at the University of Brighton and writes a blog to help newly graduated arts and craft students ‘find their feet’. David works in all types of stained glass, but Dalle de Verre stained glass is his specialism – in fact he is the UK’s only practicing Dalle de Verre craftsman, and is always delighted to chat about it. Whatever else clients may think about David, the one thing that always amazes them is that he is colour-blind!
