This panel was selected for the ‘Games’ exhibition in the year of the London Olympics, 2012, by the Swansea School of Glass and the British Society of Master Glass Painters. It was shown alongside about 50 other panels at the National Waterfront Museum in Swansea and is now in a private collection.
It based on the idea that play is essential to the human condition, whether it takes the form of classical sporting triumph in the arena or a great game of conkers in the playground.
Games form a large part of our lives, especially in childhood and, whilst they often become organised and ever-so serious as we get older, the ones I really remember as being fabulous were the ones I played when I was young.
