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.

Greenbelt 2011: Dreams of Home

  Home mr ploppy
I took this years festival logo and with it created a sculpture that stood a proud 4m tall and lit from inside.

At night it could be seen across the festival site, and this image was used as the front page of the greenbelt newspaper and as the icon for greenbelt's twitter feed

Home greenbelt

Welded in 25mm box-section steel, and clad with ply and twinwall polycarbonate sheet. It was designed and constructed so that it could be dismantled and stored.

Big thanks to Matt Wilkinson for welding, Simon Fowle for assuring me it would stand up in the wind, and the vibing team volunteers for enthusiastically working to get it into position, and Karen for making it light up.
