Internal Sculptures and Art Panels
'Ribbon'
The Ribbon is a result of Jackie working on a design brief for a museum which would be linked to both the industrial and waterfront history of Wales. The ribbon is red due to the heat from the industrial furnaces and the colour of the welsh dragon. It is bent dipicting a ribbon style and also the shape of a wave. It is designed to be a freehanging sculpture hanging in an internal space.

'Sphere' wall art with backlight.
90cm X 90cm
This is design held within a light box intended to be hung on a wall. Its design comes from Jackie's fasination with contemporary shelving and through inspiration from the OP artist Victor Vasarely. Jackie tried to offer a piece of work which from a distance appears flat but is actually 3d in make up challenging the viewer and her skills as a designer/maker.

Art Panels
Glass art panels can be either hung infront of natural light or back lite. They can be freestanding or a architectural part of a wall, door or window. Anything is possible if you open yourself up to the possiblities. They bring in movement, light and interest into the space and are exciting to look at and can be tactile also.

Detail of curved glass
This panel was made from fully fused glass overlaid with a fused and bent sculptural element, this piece really pushed Jackie's technical boundaries. It was framed in wood and designed to be free hanging in a window thus benefiting from the light. It was 30cm x 45cm in size.
