Invitation

Simon Poole's exhibition, Transparency, is on at Cell art space from 3 January - 6 February 2010, showcasing Glass Assemblage Sculpture Installation.

Glass is defined as an inorganic product of fusion that has been cooled to the solid state without crystalising. It is so common that most of us take it completely for granted. The optical and physical properties of glass make it suitable for many applications and it therefore plays an essential role in art, science and industry.

If it isn't cast and annealed properly it can shatter. It is malleable in its molten state but hard to control as a solid. It can be soft and organic or angular and hard. It is mystery, beauty, fragility, strength, nature, science, emotion, spirituality and the mundane all wound up into one clear container.

Glass is also one of the most recycled materials in the world; however it still requires plenty of energy to make it happen. I have therefore endeavoured to interrupt this process by taking interesting glass objects I collect and rearranging them without the expense of energy other than that of my own.
