They are made in series but each one is different, as Gideon says every cut of glass is unique so every one of his pieces is unique. Some of the glass is modern and some is as much as one hundred years old. By reproducing objects of destruction in the fragile medium of glass, Everything Shatters comments on the futility and intransigence of modern day warfare.</p><p class="Normal" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10pt; line-height: 13pt; font-family: Calibri, Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> </p><p class="Normal" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10pt; line-height: 13pt; font-family: Calibri, Arial; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 13pt;">Mark’s ‘Spin Speakers’ are spin paintings on sheets of 70x70cm paper in bright colours with a screenprinted bass speaker image over the top. Fair enough, but the screen print is made of ‘crumb rubber’ ground up recycled rubber tyres sometimes call ‘Astrodirt’ used for surfaces in playgrounds and sports pitches. The small rubber particles allow some of the image below to be visible while having a thickness which makes the speaker design almost three dimensional.  Mark says he chose to reproduce speaker cones as they are a reminder of the visceral excitement  of loud bass heavy music but also they are a major part of many subcultures and signify rebellion and independence.</span></p></div>

Gideon has kindly agreed to do a demonstration of stained glass making on the opening night...looking forward to that!
