Glass, lead, copper, silver, cork.

Harvey was commissioned by National Glass Centre, Sunderland, to produce a new series of work for an exhibition titled Re-Make/ Re-Model. She worked with Nulife Glass to create artefacts which attempted to recombine the lead and the glass using jewellery processes, precious metals and found objects. The work combines slumped frit with cast lead forms inspired by the alchemical relationship between the two materials and the extraction process at Nulife.
Language of Birds explores the narrative symbolism and ambiguity of these materials and presents viewers with a three dimensional metaphor of the journey and its aspirations.
