Glass, sculpture, by David Reade, Worcester, Western Cape, 1990

Called Flame, it is on a marble stand. Unlike his small objects, large objects are engraved with his name and the year of their design.

The mountainous environment in which Reade lives inspired his glass sculptures and they are a play of form colour and light. Natural light enhances form and because glass sculptures can express all these qualities, Reade designed fourteen sculptures which were exhibited at an art gallery in Cape Town during 1990-91.
