This artwork was chosen to exhibit at both the ILT Murihiku Art Awards 2025 and New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts - Academy Prize for Visual Art 2025.
Statement:
The art of leadlighting has a longstanding history in the use of traditional methods, techniques and design conventions.
Being heavily drawn to the extreme perspectives seen in architetural photography, I’ve used an original photograph I took to create a less conventional idea of the traditional base grid. In conjuction, I’ve used other established methods - such as using different lead came thicknesses to create different segments, and the play between changing colour and texture at intersecting segments - and tweaked these to create a contemporary version of a leadlight, abstracting the original image in the process.
Medium:
Leadlight [over 380 pieces of glass; (including mouthblown antique style Lamberts, Krosno and Jasło glass), lead came, leadlight cement] and handmade lightbox [plywood, acrylic, neutral white LED strip lighting]

Display stand feet so that it can be freestanding
Wall mount attachment, so that it can be hung on the wall
Wall plug
