Inspiration: Fish shoals
From Sue's “What Lies Beneath” Collection of Glass Artwork

Out beyond the beach - known by some as the “Great Barrier Reef of Norfolk” - lies the chalk reef that most people are unaware of. It is a fragile, beautiful eco-system with its own vivid corals and an abundance of amazing sea creatures, some armour-plated, others incredibly delicate and glass-like: every one helpless to resist human predation and destruction of habitat –a habitat that has only recently been recognised as scientifically important.

These shoals are thought to be Europe’s most extensive chalk reef, stretching more than 30km along the coast and reaching out up to 10km into the North Sea. This collection of work highlights and celebrates the beauty of this natural phenomenon.

Susan Purser Hope lives in Cromer and is Chair of the Contemporary Glass Society. Her glass installations feature in public and private buildings throughout the UK and she regularly runs workshops in schools and with community groups.
She works mainly with fused glass which provides her with the opportunity to endlessly explore and be challenged by the many different glass techniques available to her.

Materials used:

Water jet cut and fused glass elements on painted glass background. Mounted, framed and glazed.
