A Woman’s Work

The only bit of housework I enjoy is sweeping, especially sweeping up pink glitter. I feel like some ideal of womanhood. This lovely lady carefully sweeps up the sparkling remains of the day, dignified and optimistic.

All the Days Customisable

Based on the classic marriage vow "All the Days of your Lives...". The figures match your description (gender + hair colour).

All the World’s a Stage

A voyeuristic glimpse into the lives of others, some attention-seeking, others seeking privacy. Limited edition (200). Figures will vary from shown.

An Utter Disregard for Consequences

She is in so much trouble! ...but will be forgiven anything. The graffiti is drawn by a child (!) so will vary from piece to piece. Gender and hair colour customisable and you can ask for a name and a couple of relevant themes to be scribbled on the wall.

And on the eighth day, God created Pizzazz

All that sparkles upon the earth...

Après-ski Customisable

This was a special commission for a group who have skied together for many years. Figures can be partially customised with colour of outfits, hair, gender, etc.

Believe.

"Do you believe in fairies? Say quick that you believe. If you believe, clap your hands!"

Bisou Bisou

Kisses from Paris - a special commission but I'm sure a sentiment shared by many.

Born to Rock

Soldiers of song, march on!

Cleanliness is next to Godliness

I'm fascinated with the parallels between prayer/religion and cleaning/cleanliness - the physical act, the transformative effect, the moral dimension...or maybe it's just because I'm messy.

Contemplating Pinkness

Wouldn't the world be a better place if covered in a fine layer of pink sparkle?

Dance me to the End of Love

The party's over, the chairs are stacked, everyone else has gone home. The title is based on the Leonard Cohen song...although you either already knew that or you wouldn't care too much anyway :-)

Destined for Greatness

We are all destined for greatness.
Just with some of us it seems to be taking longer than anticipated.

Dream Big

Open to commissions on this theme - childhood dreams of being a football star (in your team colours!), a show-jumper, a trapeze artist, Barbie....

Evergreen Customisable

An old tree, a shared life, enduring love.
Your choice of initials are carved on the tree and it can be customised with figures matching your description.

Faith in Superglue

But did I actually use superglue?...
The bus will vary for each commission.

Your choice of initials are carved on the tree and the figures will match your family description (hair colour, gender, age - not an exact physical match!). Price includes up to 6 figures.

Farty Party Customisable

Go on you know you want to

Feature Wall Customisable

A man's home may be his castle, but a woman's home is her Art.

Feeling Guilty?

Well if you weren't already, you will be now.

Flight

I am pretty excited about this new piece. It feels like the start of an amazing new phase for Glass Cathedrals.

God’s Gaze

So free!

Golden Customisable

We played on the beach every day, even when the wind howled. Childhood memories stay golden no matter the weather. Your choice of names are written in the sand and the figures will match your family description.

Gone Fishin’ New

A bad day of fishing is better than a good day doing anything else (apparently).

Happy Days Customisable

Customisable with the London park of your choice (if possible), some little creatures and figures to match your pnick-knickers.

Hello ‘ello ‘ello

From afar I've begun to appreciate England as a rare island of (relatively) liberal values and common sense.

How much is that Doggy?

Someone buy that kid a dog!

I (heart) New York Customisable

What do you love about your home city? The figure and map are customisable.

A-tishoo!

In case of Emergency Break Glass

Keeping all options open!

Killing time until the apocolypse

They're on a tie-break btw. Go god go.

Love Affair Customisable.

Wake up to a gorgeous view every day. This Glass Cathedral can be customized with any people (including families) who love their cities - and each other. Possible with maps, and sans hearts.

Marathon Customisable

Heroic. The map encompasses the whole London Marathon course. I will naturally customise the figure to resemble your runner, appearance, colours and number etc. No banana suits!

May we grow old on one pillow Customisable

This piece is based on a traditional wedding blessing, so I wanted to surround the couple with a thousand twinkling stars as they slept.

Of one thing I am certain

In an uncertain world...
Add the name of your choice onto the flag (5 letters maximum). Artwork also available with female figure.

On reflection

One is small, but two can touch the sky

Dads are magic.

Original Creation Customisable

Mud - the start of life and our final destination. May as well enjoy getting a bit muddy in the middle - you never know you could create something amazing...

Party People

Go party people!

People watching

It would be nice to hang this in a cafe or corridor, so that mutually interesting people watching could occur.

Precious Customisable

Customisable with choice of skin and hair colour, and baby's birth details. Can add siblings too.

Proof

Hard to photograph this wriggly little fairy. I let her go afterwards.

Purely Decorative

Unapologetically, lovingly, purely decorative...

Rule Britannia! Customisable

Have a portrait of your family with the Queen and Prince Philip! Customised to match your family's description - age, gender, skin colour, hair style and colour.

Shameless

Special commission for everyone's favourite redhead... Joan Cusack. With reference to her role in the TV show 'Shameless' and now on display in her Chicago shop 'Judy Maxwell'.

Small creatures such as we

A special commission, expressing the joy of family life by composing the figures on a simple meaningful object. The title is part of the Carl Sagan quotation: "For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love."

Smile!

Well it's hard not to, isn't it?

Smoking Kills

This was one of my first boxes, designed about 7 years ago. Most people see it as anti-smoking, I'm thinking - hm - so god smokes Marlborough Lights?

Sunseekers

I made this Glass Cathedral just before relocating from London to California. Weirdly, I felt I was leaving behind me a nation of sunseekers....

Surf’s Up Special commission.

The architect who commissioned this has a house by the sea, and positioned his Glass Cathedral so that the mirror would reflect the Atlantic Ocean. Would love to see it on a stormy day!

Sweet Dreams

The title is inspired by the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists Spring 2012 group exhibition entitled Sweet Dreams. Not for sale.

The Dream Life of Cows

Maybe I should lay grass on the outside of the box for the next one I make. Yes!

The Grass is always Greener

Rarely, I find a figure more perfectly at home in a Glass Cathedral than his makers could ever have dreamt when they designed him. The orange-shirted man in The Grass is always Greener, gaze fixed, hose eternally at the ready, is one such happy find.

The Green

For the man who has everything....

The Hugging Bed Customisable

A moment in time like no other. The figures will match your family description (hair colour, gender, age - not an exact physical match). No dogs allowed on the bed! (just kidding)

The Marriage Vow

A beautiful leap into the unknown.

The Naughty Corner

When the whole world is as small (or as vast) as the corner of a room.

The Night Job

I love the way the space inside a Glass Cathedral can be as infinite as the night sky or contained in a room.

The Reading Room

Shhhh.....

The Seed Customisable

The little heart sign can have your choice of initials and/or a date. The hair colour is also customisable.

The World is a scary place, but I have Armbands

A classic and well-loved piece.
The American version says 'waterwings' and not 'armbands'.

This is it

Actually one of the first Glass Cathedrals I ever made, I recently found some photos of it.

Travel far, travel light Customisable

In London, my husband Ralph used to pop out for milk. Now he pops out to ride up a mountain. Your choice of initials on vest, and of clothing colors. Map also customizable if required.

Under Construction

A bad photo of a great piece. Can you see they're standing round a hole? No-one can resist the temptation to wiggle their finger inside the box.

Unplugged

Don't pull out your bath plug folks!

Waiting for Inspiration

An empty space? Or filled with the infinite possibilities of inspiration...

Walk with light Customisable

Dark forest, dappled light. The magical Redwood trails of Northern California.

Wallflower

How sweetly she waits, always hopeful. For whom is she waiting? And for how long? A beautiful melancholy piece - one of my favourites.

Where we are New with Mount Tam + Kilimanjaro. Customisable

I never feel quite so grounded as when hiking. Suggest your own map and gender of hikers.

White Christmas Customisable

My first Glass Cathedral with interior lighting. The lights are blue-white, but the box doesn't look blue like in the Darkness detail shot, it's tricky to photograph.
Customisable with figures matching your family.

Word up: dance Customisable

Choose your own word or phrase...hot mama...sparkle...snozcumber...with corresponding customised little person/s. This one was the perfect gift for a dancing queen.

Yes, you look fabulous!

Just add 'you' - smiling at yourself in the mirror!
