Kingfisher

late twentieth century, perhaps 1980s

size: 37.4 x 78.5 cm

Swansea College of Art, Swansea
M/SCA/FLP/113

Made with flashed antique glass. The lines are made by acid etching, and the denser colours are achieved by plating coloured glass.

The panel was a Hartley Wood and Hetley competition winner.

The imagery probably derives from the poem 'As Kingfishers Catch Fire' by Gerard Manley Hopkins.
