As a silversmith and artist, my work takes me into a number of different fields, exploring ideas where they and commissions take me. In addition to the images here are some more recent ones on my blog which you can visit by clicking here on Wally Gilbert's Blog .
Commissions made since the July include a ciborium for St. Mary Alderley, a bowl for New College, Oxford and a mace, nearing completion, for Hereford cathedral. In addition I have had the opportunity amongst other things to design an aumbrey, cross and candlesticks for St. David's cathedral in Pembrokeshire. The designing takes a great deal of time as I produce many variations in the attempt to feel my way towards a solution, attempting to 'break new ground' and come up with something new.
A courteous email from Ursula, curator at MAD,New Yorks Museum of Art & Design, tells me that a necklace of mine from their collection will be on display as part of an exhibition through into next year.
There is a plan for a solo exhibition in Seoul, South Korea later in 2012 and I still hope to take up my deferred residency in South Africa in the Autumn.
