The Grit and The Glamour: Jack Brindley (Pavilion Pavilion), Haptic Light

“These cast glass sculptures explore the idea of a window as a lens. I am interested in the dual properties: I like the idea that they are a device, but there is also a poetic aspect to them as sculptural objects. The idea originated from my fascination with an early Frank Lloyd Wright design for factory windows, which directed light down into the workspace. It was a clever way of handling light quality and focus, though soon became redundant with the advent of electric light. These are essentially window prisms – light is refracted through them. I have handled the form making roughly so they have visible fingerprints. Glass is typically highly polished and can be quite cold - here, the hand markings bring human warmth to the material.” Jack Brindley
