Glass Art Disc ‘Innisidgen’ by Susan Kinley

This glass art disc by Susan Kinley is inspired by the ancient site of Innisidgen. This means ‘Ox Island’ in the Cornish language,  and is the name of the site of two Bronze Age entrance graves located in the Isle of Scilly.

Susan loves the history of places and brings together a range of methods to create her pieces. She draws and photographs the site to really immerse herself in it. She then combines a range of methods, working experimentally with cut-outs, fragments of photography, and powdered glass enamels to create the final piece. It features beautiful shades of green and blue and has an oval shape.

This incredible glass art disc brings together history, nature and art in a deeply meaningful way.

N.B. The Innisidgen comes with transparent fittings and full instructions for hanging.
