Inspired by the surface of the Irish landscape and geological formation, Peter McGuire produces cast glass panels formed using botanical material resulting in low relief glass pieces. Each piece is a unique casting and can also be treated to reflect a silver, bronze or satin finish.
Slow moving glaciers of ice carving out the valleys and mountains, it’s movement accelerated by rising temperatures. As the ice receded in the Carboniferous period some 320 million years ago, the ocean floor was revealed and layers of life are now evident in the rock surfaces.
Glass behaves in the same way: moving when heated and solidifying when cooled. This is reflected in the studio using furnaces to control the temperature and cast from nature.
The studio offers a classic size range which can be assembled on site. Each piece can be supplied with a stainless steel mounting frame. The options for finish may depend on the interior style of the space; timber, brass or stainless steel.
