​

Phil’s work takes inspiration from the layers of history and their presence in a particular time which are often recorded and observed in a fragmented way. His work allows a glimpse into this place and subsequently into the inner being which is often obscured by the mess and chaos of the everyday.

​

Phil has been developing Victorian processes with glass that involve hand silvering, mark making, gilding and etching. The variations of distressed silvering has a relationship with how we summon and recall memories with it’s distortions.

* I understand we are very busy, however, could I please ask if you can view my instagram as well as PDF. I work on clear glass by mark making, gold gild and hand silver. These process’s / techniques are very hard to show in photographs and the short reals reveal the true quality in the pieces.
