What

  • No longer an archive of finished work this blog will now function as a repository for creative inspiration, sketch book and personal projects all of which would otherwise remain unorganized. Think of these posts as getting a glance into a creative’s notebook.

Who

  • I am Saga Arpino, a light loving city dweller.
  • I am a Royal College of Art trained glass artist specialised in the creative use of glass in architectural contexts.
  • Much of my work is focused on the nature and importance of public spaces and serves to enhance the quality of such spaces. I strive to create appropriate work with purpose, honesty, beauty and function.

[thanks, tim and anna]

Yesterday it was great to welcome Coffeesmiths Tim and Anna  to the studio. to see how I'm coming along with the art piece that I'll be installing at the Department of Coffee and Social Affairs on Leather Lane, EC1 later this month.

As I've mulled over in previous blog posts, the idea of how creativity happens, what sort of environment encourages it to flourish is something that I've been thinking about, the idea that creativity happens when people lives their lives in close proximity, when they sit and chat and explore ideas daily, and the installation I'm creating for the windows of the Dept speaks of this.

I'm working in perspex and translucent vinyls to capture the ring marks left by coffee cups, in part developing a technique I first used to  make Abstracted Geographies, a public art project for Altnagelvin Hospital in Londonderry.
