Clouds by Jeremy Maxwell Wintrebert | London (UK) | By Emma Harrison

A keen painter up until the age of 19, when he discovered hot liquid glass, Jeremy Maxwell Wintrebert's transatlantic life has always been driven by his creative process. He has dabbled in metals, clay and paints but nothing has captivated his imagination like the gloopy, glossy and mesmerising textures of hot glass flickering at the end of a blow pipe.

Jeremy’s ambitious 2012 Clouds project is impressive in size and imaginative in equal measure; he explains ‘clouds is about a childhood memory I have from when I was seven or eight. A time in my life when everything seemed so big and everything was possible, even magic.’ The 60cm x 60cm x 60cm lights encourage the observer to re-enact this childlike magic and gawp skywards to the delicate and smooth curved lines of each hand blown glass piece.

Clouds is currently on display at Gallery Fumi as part of the 2014 London Design Festival and runs until October 31st (by appointment only).
