Exhibitions

"Bird in Hand" 2008 from the series "Menfolk"

Menfolk by Debora Coombs

Saturday 2 January - Sunday 14 February, Stained Glass Museum

An exhibition of panels on a male related theme: "This series of work explores maleness, at various ages, and in different emotional landscapes. It grew from a desire to explore images of people that spoke to me in some way. Combining drawings and photographs of my own family with those of strangers I discovered some interesting relationships.

I handpainted people and patterns onto pieces of coloured glass to form a mosaic. Fixed together with strips of soldered lead in the traditional manner these Menfolk are now preserved in stained glass; together forever.

Part of the allure for me is working with the real substance of glass and paint. The process feeds my need to make things. Sensual and tactile; craftsmanship is absorbing, technically challenging, and pleasurable. Making provides a perfect counterpoint to thinking."
