David Reekie, one of Britain's leading contemporary glass artist's launches

the first book about his work on 31st May 2001.

Spanning a period of twenty-five years, the book takes an in-depth look at Reekie's work, his influences and the ideas behind intriguing pieces such as his series Living in Confined Spaces and A Captive Audience? Published in full colour, it contains photographs, illustrations and sketches of work in progress.

David Reekie is a sculptor who uses glass as a medium to express his concerns and thoughts about life in the 21st century. Through his ingenuity, he has taken cast glass into previously uncharted territory, developing many new techniques to create his distinctive work.

The book is introduced by Jennifer Opie, Deputy Curator of Glass and Ceramics at London's V&A Museum and has a warm contribution from renowned glass expert Dan Klein.

" Reekie's sense of the absurd, with its mixture of irony, imagination and compassionate humour, has family affiliations to the nonsense poems of Edward Lear or the fantasy of Alice in Wonderland " Dan Klein.
