The REVIVE series was intended as a way to say something about the value of art as a pointer to our future. These Dartington lead crystal vases are from a now-discontinued line of free-blown vessels; when acquired by Nancy they showed all the marks of real life, and she used these scratches and blemishes to define where the engraving cuts were made. In this way the glass gets a new life based on its old one — hence the series title. This was a painstaking process, finding the right design and then working with great care to ensure that all the scratches were incorporated and therefore obliterated.
Final price
Dartington 24% lead crystal. Engraved by hand with nine bees and fine line honeycomb. Irregular shape, approx 30cm diameter by 15cm high.
Final price
A panel of three layers of glass glued and edge-bound with lead tape, 36cm long by 10cm high and approx 1cm deep. Verre eglomisé; engraved by hand on one level with paint on another. The panel is intended to be wall-hung and is supplied with a suitable fixing at the rear.
Final price
Optical glass slab, 35cm x 28cm x 5cm. Drill-engraved; water-gilded 24ct gold and palladium leaf, freestanding on wooden feet. One of a very personal series of works in response to the increase in arbitrary divisions in society; the DNA series aimed to emphasise that "we have more in common that that which divides us”. The pattern of bars therefore is arbitrary – it is not an actual DNA code – but at the same time regular.
