Silk screen printed glass, laminated 18mm, 120cm high, 110cm wide, 12cm deep,

This silk screen printed, laminated glass sculpture stands 120 centimetres high and invites the viewer to step into a story. A bold, sprite like figure strides confidently across a single 18mm glass pane, as if emerging straight from the forest floor. She doesn’t creep into view; instead, she pushes forward with purpose, her pose suggesting a playful challenge to anyone crossing her path. Her hat and shoes sprout from leafy forms, grounding her in the natural world, yet her body glows with a striking orange inspired by the iridescence of butterfly wings and dragonfly bodies.

The clear glass doesn’t simply support the figure, it places her inside it. Because the surface remains transparent, foliage and landscape blend right through her, making it feel as though she lives among branches, flowers, and shifting sunlight. As viewers move around the sculpture, the forest and the figure interact in endless combinations; she hides within the greenery one moment, then bursts into full view the next.

Brightly coloured outdoor sculptures often feel out of place, yet this one flips that expectation. Rather than clashing with nature, her vivid hues echo the intensity of wildflowers, berries, and insects. The orange body vibrates against the greens around it, bringing attention to the tiny flashes of colour scattered throughout the natural world.

Ultimately, the piece captures a joyful balance between fantasy and environment. Through sharp lines, bold colour, and the surprising transparency of glass, this pop inspired woodland spirit strides into the open, inviting us to imagine what other figures might be hiding just beyond the trees.
