Mollie Meager - Architectural Glass Artist
|
|
I am a glass artist and my interest is in light, color and space. Looking through colored glass and mirror can give a new perspective because of its invisibility. Some of the techniques with paint, silver stain and engraving, hold the eye on the glass and some wash the world beyond with magical color.
I sometimes tell stories on the glass, using enamels, silver stain and paint.
I paint murals, and have recently published a sketchbook about an idea, details are included below.
Influences: Chagall, Matisse, Miro, Howard Hodgkins, Sandra Blow, Patrick Heron, Picasso
I exhibit occasionally, but work mostly to commission for private houses, churches and public buildings.
My studio is a straw bale workshop in the Forest of Dean.
I am passionate about trying to help positive change in our troubled world and am a member of Extinction Rebellion.

Mollie's lockdown book.
“This is a Story” I had reached a stage in lockdown when I would go to my workshop and have no idea!. There was an empty sketchbook on the table, a pen, ink and some water colours. So I began. This is a story. Next page... about an idea. Each page as I turned it my mind would often be a blank again. So I’d put a mark, some words or some colour. So I allowed the story to flow out of me. If you would like one, contact me. Copies of the book are available from Mollie and cost £7.50. |

Art and Nature Diaries. Lisa Saunders is an artist and she has made a series of videos which are on you tube. They are called “Art and Nature Diaries”, and are just that. They combine her own work with walks in nature and link the 2. She had become interested in Alice, especially Through the Looking Glass, and her 5th nature diary begins exploring this journey. When she discovered I too have been fascinated by Alice and had made pieces of work related, she asked if she could come and film me in relation to this work. So here is the result. It relates particularly to the mirrored piece pictured here where I did explored Alice’s efforts to escape the house and enter the fascinating landscape.
