Unified Design In Mind with Jack Brindley of Pavilion Pavilion
Hi everyone and welcome back to Cracked with Chevonne Ariss!
Today on episode 44 I'm joined by Edinburgh artist Jack Brindley. Under the alias Pavilion Pavilion, Jack has been exploring the relationship between contemporary art and objects of use, combining his research as an artist and his interest in design and architecture. Each work is a unique and individually commissioned piece, looking at forms found in minimalism and ‘painterly hard line abstraction’. The aim is to create works that are contemporary whilst adhering to the traditional methods and materials. How should Contemporary Stained Glass sit between an artwork and an architectural embellishment?
Stained Glass by Pavilion Pavilion is influenced by moments such as the groundbreaking Bauhaus School, where Design, Architecture, Craft and Art were all at the forefront of innovation. Today we discuss his idea art as a place holder, finding focus in his craft, enhancing what is already present and how maybe having all the glass tools and resources at your fingertips may not be the best thing after all. Let's get into it...
Join me as I crack it all wide open!

For the Cracked Patreon page Jack is gifting an original drawing that’s called “Grid Study” made in 2022, and it’s charcoal and ink on paper. It's 42 x 30 cm or 16.5" x 11.8”. I’ll be doing a drawing for that 12 days after the release of this episode.
